I was not born from my mother.
Song
1. I was not born of a mother, I was born on a rose tree, ; I was not born of a mother, I was born on a rose tree, ; On the day of red Pentecost, on the day of red Pentecost ; I was born at dawn. ; ; 2. It would have been better for me never to have been born. ; It would have been better for me never to have been born. ; Than in life, in one thousand one hundred and twenty-five, ; To be a soldier. ; ; 3. I became a soldier, but not out of pride. ; I became a soldier, but not out of pride. ; I serve the emperor, the first republic, ; Out of great necessity.
