Translation
Bilingual
I was named after my father
In a long line of nobodies
Waiting for the future
For the turn of the century
And I was merely cannon fodder
In the 19th cavalry
Waiting, waiting, waiting
To sing, Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Nearer my God to thee
Well, the first night that I saw her
Was the last night of my leave
A stranger in a strange land
Where an angel came to me
An angel came to me
An angel came to me
An angel came to me
An angel came to me
And I dreamed of Jacob's ladder
When I laid me down to sleep
And the souls all risin' and fallin'
Through the whole of eternity
I was named after my father
In a long line of nobodies
And all I ever wanted
Was someone to weep for me
Someone to weep for me
Someone to weep for me
Someone to weep for me
Someone to weep for me
Oh-oh, ooh
Someone to weep for me (oh-oh)
Someone to weep for me (ooh-ooh)
Someone to weep for me (oh-oh-oh)
Someone to weep for me
Someone to weep for me (oh)
Someone to weep for me
