If Charlotte had wished 
To marry her soldier
He would be happy on this earth,
And would never want
To disappear off to war again
Killing off his poor love,
Piercing his too dull heart.
Mischevious love!

But Charlotte had wanted
To marry only a captain
And not a low-ranking officer.
Which is why,
Despite her efforts,
She will never find a more ardent and
beautiful love
Than the one she found too dull.
Mischevious love!
