Blue bell, the dawn is waking Sweetheart, you must not sigh Blue bell, my heart is breaking I've come to say good-bye. Hear how the bugle's calling, calling to each brave heart Sweetheart, your tears are falling Blue bell, we two must* part. (Chorus:) Good-bye, my Blue bell, farewell to you One last fond look into your eyes so blue Mid campfires gleaming 'mid shot and shell I will be dreaming of my own Blue bell. Instrumental Blue bell, they are returning Each greets a sweetheart true Blue bell, your heart is yearning, never a one** greets you. Sadly they tell the story, tell how he fought and fell No thought of fame or glory, only 'f his own Blue bell. Chorus
*Ein Germanismus, der inzwischen verp�nt ist - heute w�rde man "the two of us" sagen.
**dto - heute w�rde man "no-one" sagen.
Der Text ist aus 1904, und lebende Sprachen entwickeln sich halt weiter - kaum eine Zeile w�rde heute noch so getextet.
