Lyrics

Far, far away in the South China Sea, ya

I left

A girl

With tears in her eyes

I must go where the brave men died ya

A soldier has to fight the front because he loves his land ya

A soldier has to fight even if he has to die

Cause we are the ones who hold the guns

We are the ones who fight the front

(We are mighty warriors of our land ya)

[Coy name] warriors marching in hurrah, hurrah

[Coy name] warriors marching in, hurrah, hurrah

Cause we are the ones who hold the guns

We are the ones who fight the front

We are mighty warriors of our land YA!
