Dupa titlul original “Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden“, I Had a Comrade (Engleza), Am avut un camarad, ramane unul dintre cele mai frumoase cantece militare ale lumii. Pe acest cantec milioane de soldati germani au murit in cele doua Razboaie Mondiale si in razboiul purtat de mercenarii Tyroliani impotriva trupelor lui Napoleon.

Cantecul a fost compus in anul 1809 de scriitorul german Friedrich Silcher. Cantec care se mai aude uneori in cimitirele militare germane din cand in cand. Versurile in Engleza si cantecul mai jos.

In battle he was my comrade,
None better I have had.
The drum called us to fight,
He always on my right,
|: In step, through good and bad. :|

A bullet flew towards us,
For him or meant for me?
His life from mine it tore,
At my feet a piece of gore,
|: As if a part of me. :|

His hand reached up to hold mine.
I must re-load my gun.
“My friend, I cannot ease your pain,
In the eternal life we’ll meet again,
|: And walk once more as one.” :|
