Текст песни Японский марш - Yuki no Shingun

雪 の 進軍 - Yuki no Shingun - "Marching on Snow" is a song about the hardships of war, created during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 by its member, military musician Kenshi NAGAI (including lyrics). After Japan entered the Second World War, it was banned "due to the demoralizing effect", nevertheless it was performed "quietly", in the absence of the authorities.
Text: We walk into a blizzard along the road laid on the ice of the Yala River, the horses glide and fall all the time; all around someone else's land, we smoke one small cigarette for two. Rice with chunks of jerky fish is not very vital; the fire does not save you from the cold, damp firewood 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 the military duties associated with the threat of death playing with our destinies; crawl through the eye of a needle and survive anyway.
