everything 21:46 every day i feel myself drifting further 21:47 away from her 21:49 it's hard to believe that only a month 21:50 ago it was my birthday and we were so 21:52 happy 21:53 father says i should be nicer to her but 21:55 sometimes i need to slap her across the 21:57 face 22:00 [Music] 22:16 what do you want me to do walk down the 22:18 street to the apartment 22:26 [Music] 22:33

the world 26:39 [Music] 26:41 it gave me such a funny feeling as if i 26:44 denounced them to the authorities 26:48 you've just come out of one of the most 26:50 concentrated and fierce nights of 26:52 fighting 26:53 a night in which we struck hard one 26:55 particular front along the enemy's 26:57 tradition 26:58 and struck through the infantry attack 27:02 of another bombardment 27:08 my
