Японский марш - Yuki no Shingun - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

雪の進軍 - Yuki no Shingun - "Marching on Snow" - a song about the difficulties of war, created during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 by its participant, military musician Kenshi NAGAI (including lyrics). After Japan entered the Second World War, it was banned “due to its demoralizing effect,” but was nevertheless performed “quietly” in the absence of superiors.

Text: We walk in a snowstorm along a road laid on the ice of the Yala River, the horses are constantly slipping and falling; It’s a foreign land all around, we smoke one small cigarette between us. Rice with pieces of dried fish is not very stimulating; the fire does not protect you from the cold, the damp wood smokes mercilessly, you have to squint; instead of water - pickled plums. Instead of a blanket - an overcoat, instead of a pillow - a backpack; to keep warm, we press our backs against each other, like millet in wet husks; Looking at the cold month, we dream of a barrel of hot water in a military camp. And yet I really want to live, despite military obligations associated with the threat of death playing with our destinies; Let's get through the eye of the needle and survive anyway.
