Sting - pretty young soldier

사랑하는 연인이 결혼을 계획하지만, 남자는 군대에 가기로 결정하고 여자는 그를 잃고 싶지 않아 남장하고 군에 자원한다
군대에서 그녀는 자신이 젊은 병사가 되어 임무를 수행하게 될 것을 다짐한다
결국 그녀는 자신의 결단이 가져올 결과를 알게 되며 긴장하게 된다

There are two young lovers, they're pledged to each other's hands
They meet by the river, to talk of their marriage plans
"I'm confessing," he said, "I've signed for a soldier
I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land."
She watches the pretty young soldiers
As they march themselves off to the war
She wonders if she'll ever see him again
Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure
So she rode into town on the very next day
And dressed herself up all in man's array
With a sword and a musket she took the King's shilling
And to fight in some foreign war
She said, "Yes!," she'd be willing
All you pretty young soldiers
In those uniforms that you've never worn
The Captain will come to inspect you all now
"Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born."
The Captain astride of his horse's grey flanks
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake
He said, "Follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make."
