They'd arrived over there
Survivors from the same convoy
They didn't know each other
_____
But that fate brought them together
Dependent on the same kapo
_____
Day and night in the commando unit
_____
Sharing the same bunk
_____
They'd become friends
_____
Everything we went through there
_____
Yet you'll tell them
_____
Every day was a nightmare
_____
Leaving wasn't an option
_____
They'd gotten very thin
_____
In that bitter cold, so lightly dressed
_____
And what about their morale
_____
How far away the homeland was
_____
Everything we went through there
_____
Yet you'll tell them
_____
Both of them supported each other
_____
Side by side, without speaking
_____
That was their strength to endure
_____
Above all, not to despair
One morning, he stayed in bed
_____
The friend went to work alone
_____
That evening, he couldn't find him anymore
_____
He's left alone to testify
_____
Everything we went through there
