All the roads lead to Ponar,
and none returns.
Somewhere father disappeared,
disappeared with all our…

My chest toned and hard
And they’d all be saying: What a guy

French and Russian they matter not,
A blow for a blow and a shot for a shot;
We love them not, we hate them not.
We hold the Weichsel and Vosges-gate,
We have but one—and only hate,

Jews, let us be cheerful!

The war will soon be over.
Their end is very near.
Cheerful, don’t you worry.

Have both hope and patience—
Bear things…
