"抜刀隊" "Battotai" Imperial Japanese March (Instrumental Version) HD

This is the unofficial instrumental version of the Imperial Japanese March, "Battotai" Lyrics- 我は官軍我敵は 天地容れざる朝敵ぞ 敵の大將たる者は 古今無雙の英雄で We are the Imperial Force and whoever disobeys us Are the foes forsaken by the Heaven and the Earth. The head of the enemy, a legendary hero Compared to none throughout history. 之に從ふ兵は 共に慓悍决死の士 鬼神に恥ぬ勇あるも 天の許さぬ叛逆を All the soldiers who follow him Are the fearless warriors prepared to die. Although their courage rivals the fiercest god Whoever rebel against the Imperials. 起しゝ者は昔より 榮えし例あらざるぞ 敵の亡ぶる夫迄は 進めや進め諸共に Those the heavens do not tolerate, None of them have prospered through all ages. Until our enemies fall, Go forth, go forth, all together! 玉ちる劔拔き連れて 死ぬる覺悟で進むべし 皇國の風と武士の 其身を護る靈の Unsheathing your swords glistening like a gem, Go forth, resolved to die! The spirits who have defended the custom Of the Imperial Land and the Samurais’ bodies. 維新このかた廢れたる 日本刀の今更に 又世に出づる身の譽 敵も身方も諸共に After the Restoration, all of them remain abolished, But we are still able to brandish our Japanese Katanas. We are honored to come back to life, All of our friends and foes. 刃の下に死ぬべきぞ 大和魂ある者の 死ぬべき時は今なるぞ 人に後れて恥かくな They must fall beneath our blades, For whoever has the Yamato spirits. Now is the time to die, Do not bring yourself shame with delay. 敵の亡ぶる夫迄は 進めや進め諸共に 玉ちる劔拔き連れて 死ぬる覺悟で進むべし Until our enemies fall, Go forth, go forth, all together! Unsheathing your swords glistening like a gem, Go forth, resolved to die!
