Show Your Warrior's Pride To All

It's time to depart from the clamorous harbor as the crowd waves... wearing faces of sorrow; ah, dearest friend of my happiest years, leaving the somber shore, remember my affectioned hug hoping not to be the last... may my presence be there: in the cold sea and warm sand! Stand up and salute your admired and adored country without hesitating and shaking; show your warrior's pride to all without crying... look straight ahead and be unequaled and invincible! Be ready to live days of stride, although tears will fall and absence starts its toll: whenever a soldier's fiery spirit becomes weary! Oh, be bold and strong and hold that rifle with a steady grip... surviving is honoring the life and the ones you love endlessly; your kids and wife wait for your return and pray fervently, believe that without faith strength is nothing: a soldier must show his fighting will! Stand up and salute your admired and loved country without hesitating and shaking, show your warrior's pride to all without crying! Be ready to live days of stride, although tears will fall and absence starts its toll, whenever a soldier's fiery spirit becomes weary! If your days are pass slowly, and aren't promised as tomorrow: be confident that hope will not dwindle, or unexpectedly fade out completely: it's a candle with a bright glow... keeping its flame glowing steadily... as a devoted love that's not fickle! Stand up and salute your very adored and loved country having a vision so clear! Show your warrior's pride to all without crying! Be ready to live many days of stride, although tears will fall and absence starts its toll when a soldier's awareness lets go of his horrific fear!
