Terry Pratchett: ""Itu lagu yang bagus," kata Sam muda, dan...
""Itu lagu yang bagus," kata Sam muda, dan Vimes ingat bahwa dia mendengarnya untuk pertama kalinya. Itu lagu tentara tua, 'katanya. Benarkah, sersan? Tapi ini tentang malaikat. " Ya, pikir Vimes, dan sungguh menakjubkan apa yang menyebabkan malaikat-malaikat itu bangkit ketika lagu berlanjut. Itu lagu tentara yang nyata: sentimental, dengan bit kotor. Seingat saya, mereka biasa menyanyikannya setelah pertempuran, 'katanya. "Aku pernah melihat lelaki tua menangis ketika mereka menyanyikannya," tambahnya. Mengapa? Kedengarannya ceria. ' Mereka mengingat dengan siapa mereka tidak bernyanyi, pikir Vimes. Anda akan belajar. Saya tahu Anda akan."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
That's a nice song,' said young Sam, and Vimes remembered that he was hearing it for the first time. It's an old soldiers' song,' he said. Really, sarge? But it's about angels.' Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits. As I recall, they used to sing it after battles,’ he said. 'I've seen old men cry when they sing it,’ he added. Why? It sounds cheerful.' They were remembering who they were not singing it with, thought Vimes. You'll learn. I know you will.
