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
Everything we went through there
Yet you'll tell them
Every day was a nightmare
Leaving wasn't an option
Work, take the blows
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
Give them my forgiveness
