[Verse 1] Six men riding at great speed Horses wet with foam. Through the forest down the hill Riding for their homes. Riding for their homes tonight Riding for their homes. [Chorus] "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you." "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you." [Verse 2] Six men lately from the war Six men fought so bravely. Six men coming home again Six remain from eighty. Six men out of eighty lived Six men out of eighty. [Chorus] "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you." "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you." [Verse 3] Six men home to plow the fields Six to plant the corn. Six pretty ladies to weep for joy And seventy-four to mourn. Seventy-four to mourn and weep Seventy-four to mourn. [Chorus] "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you." "Hush! Hush!" The mother sings "Dreams will come and find you."

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le retour de six hommes après une période de guerre, se hâtant vers leurs foyers, épuisés mais heureux de retrouver leurs proches. Les images de la nature et des chevaux ajoutent une touche poétique à leur voyage. La mère chante pour apaiser ces hommes, leur promettant que de doux rêves les attendent, un contraste avec la réalité douloureuse qu'ils laissent derrière eux. Au total, seulement six d'entre eux sont rentrés, tandis que le reste de leur groupe est tombé, créant une atmosphère mêlée de joie et de chagrin. Les femmes qui les attendent ressentent une immense joie pour leur retour, mais aussi une profonde tristesse pour ceux qui n'ont pas survécu.
