Yuki no shingun english lyrics (sino Japanese war 1895)

[MelaninWarlord]

Snow laying all around, ice is coated on
the ground, neither the river nor the
road can we see. Horses, they're dead we
fear, but we cannot leave them here. What
is this awful place? It all looks the
same to me. Smoking a cigarette, neither
worry nor regret. What the hell, it's
freezing cold, might as well light
another one.

Rations are rotted through, neither
fish nor rice will do. Tre food makes Tre
days drag on in such a blur, trying to
warm the sea. Of course, you know the woodis green.

Smoke going everywhere, it's not
the comfort I'd prefer. Oh, but don't look
so glum, so says my jolly chum. The only
sour thing should be the army's famous
pickled
plum.

Clothes we make into bed, sleeping
on the ground we tread, soak through with
ice and snow. It's dreadful how we feel,
shaking from cold and frost. I fear my
mind is surely lost.

How I yearn for home and warmth this icy hell feels unreal
But in this darkness gazing through this cloudless air
moon is shining brightly on without a
care. We are prepared for death, fighting
to our final breath, longing for battle
and to do our country proud.

But how the
fates have frowned marching through the
snowy ground. To freeze to death is not
an end a soldier ever thinks he'll meet.

Such is the way of life, only hardship,
pain and stride, not like the high
command things much that will return
again.
