武運長久
------------
lyrics
Marching in the snow, stepping on ice
We can't even tell passages from rivers
The horses are beaten, but we can't leave them
Just what is this place? It's all enemy territory
It can't be helped, so I took a cigarette break
But how unreliable, there are only two cigarettes
We eat dried fish and half-cooked rice
Barely alive, meanwhile
For this cold can't be endured with just a bonfire
It will definitely smoke but the wet wood burns
Putting on a sour face, saying the stories of valor
The "sour" thing here's a pickled plum
The clothes we wear are our carefree beds
We cover under our overcoats on knapsack pillows
With the warmth of our backs, the snow thaws
Soaking wet our millet-husk bedding
We can't dream of dreaming in the bivouacs
The moon peeks into, coldly
As we came here in debt of our lives
We charged with death resolution
If luck dictates we should die in battle
The cotton of our donated winter clothes, woven with duty
Slowly, surely, tightens against my neck
Anyhow, the superiors won't let us go home alive
