Army songs

Hi,

I am collecting Army songs (songs that we sang in the army during any occassion such as marching, etc) all around the world, please contribute. I'll start contributing some from Singapore;

Song1:

Training to be soldiers
Training to be soldiers.
Fight for our land.
Once in a life, two years of our time.
Have you ever wondered
Why must we served
Because we loved our land
And we want it to be free to be free ya.
Stand up Be on your guard
C'mon everybody do your part
C'mon everybody

Song 2

Left toe Right toe Keep up the tempo
Left toe Right toe Eh-o-o-eh-o
Here we go again
Same old shit again
Up and down the seven hills
(Depend on the booking out day. Assume 4 ) Four more days and we'll be through.
Well-lo-well-lo-well-low-well-o-ha ha
Well-lo-well-l-well-low-well-o-wah-ha ha
Up the hill Down the slope.
Any Sweat ???!!!???
(Echo) No Sweat Chicken Feet underwear wet wet dun believe come and check !!
Ha ha all the way!!!

Song 3

Army Life
I don't want an Army life,
here the food are mighty fine,
ask chicken drumstick,
they give you the backside!

I don't want an Army life,
here the girls are pretty fine,
ask Madonna,
they give you Frankenstein!

I don't want an Army life,
here the pillows are mighty fine,
ask for support pillow,
they give you porcupine!

I don't want an Army life,
here the guns are mighty fine,
when you squeeze the trigger,
it shoots out from behind!
Ha ha - All the Way!

Well Here's few collective verses of the songs that we sang (The orginal song in finnish is in italics, a rough translation is in normal text...)
The "melody" is propaply the same as in other countries...

Tahdon olla tykkimies
Taistelukenttien teräsmies
(I want to be an artillerist
superman of the battlefield)

Jääkärit tetsaa otsat hies
Tykkimies on tiedemies!

(Infantry charges with sweat on their heads
Artillerist is a scientist!)

On tykissäni millejä 122
eikä kukaan pistä paremmaks
(There 122mm in my howitser
And none is topping that!)

Mitä se nainen rakastaa?
Tykkimiestä ja vesisänkyä
(What does women love?
An artillerist and a waterbed)

Mitä se nainen inhoaa?
Heitinmiestä ja hetekkaa
(What does women hate?
Mortar mens and old rugbed)

Jääkärin nainen se sängyllä makaa
Tykkimies vetää sitä edestä ja takaa
(Infantrymans women lays in the bed
Artillerist fucks her from both ends)

Jääkärin koira se lattialla makaa
Pioneeri vetää sitä edestä ja takaa
(Infantrymans dog lays in the floor
An engineer fucks it from both ends)

Dang Gollevainen, the Finnish artillery sure has some pretty screwed up songs! (Then again most army songs have historically been pretty misogynist in the first place)

Well that is what you get when you put near-end teenagers to march around in silly clothes...

And when you put them in a woman-less enviroment . Seriously, I'm pretty sure every military other than the Swiss Guard has its own somewhat perverted marching songs.

And Golly's little number is not that much different from a lot of popular music here in America....

Finn: I wouldn't guarantee the Swiss Guard doesn't have some of its own...

It's the "Jody Factor." Leaving home, family, girlfriend/wife/women and familiar climes/mores behind to serve in the military - and not knowing what will happen to them in your absence - has generated marching songs since Og and Murg picked up their clubs and went marching into their neighbor's land.

In the dark of the morning, I can stand on the porch of my building and listen to our students marching to school. I have heard several distinctive recent rock tunes adapted by our "Drone and Bungle Corps" (drum and bugle corps) for our mixed bag of Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy marchers -- and have heard obvious hip-hop lyrics (obscenities included) sung out loudly as our mixed-sex, mixed-service squadrons and flights go by in the anonymous dark...

And it ain't just the guys singing them...

March of the PLA
向前向前向前!
我们的队伍向太阳,
脚踏着祖国的大地,
背负着民族的希望,
我们是一支不可战胜的力量.
我们是人民的子弟,
我们是人民的武装,
从无畏惧,
绝不屈服,
英勇战斗,
直到把反动派消灭干净,
毛泽东的旗帜高高飘扬.
听!
风在呼啸军号响,
听!
革命歌声多嘹亮!
同志们整齐步伐奔向解放的战场,
同志们整齐步伐奔赴祖国的边疆,
向前
向前!
我们的队伍向太阳,
向最后的胜利,
向全国的解放!

Thanks guys, and I shall try to translate what Renmin is writing, hope I get it right,

向前向前向前!
(Forward! Forward! Forward!)
我们的队伍向太阳,
(Our Army marhed towards the Sun)
脚踏着祖国的大地,
(Our feet stomping on Mother China's ground)
背负着民族的希望,
(Carrying the hope of our brethen)
我们是一支不可战胜的力量.
(We are an invinsible army [or strength])
我们是人民的子弟,
(We are the people's brothers [sisters too])
我们是人民的武装,
(We are the people's weapon)
从无畏惧,
(We know no fear)
绝不屈服,
(We will not give in to threads, dangers, difficulties, enemies, etc)
英勇战斗,
(We shall fight courageously)
直到把反动派消灭干净,
(Until all our enemy are destroyed)
毛泽东的旗帜高高飘扬.
(Chairman Mao Zhedong's Flag fly high)
听!
(Listen!)
风在呼啸军号响, (er... this one missed me. I don't know how to translate, someone help me here, I think this one means, "The Wind is Howling and the sound of military trumpets or commands are loud and clear")
听!
(Listen!)
革命歌声多嘹亮!
(The Music of the Revolution Song is loud and clear)
同志们整齐步伐奔向解放的战场,
(All of us comrades will charge into the revolution battlefield with disciplined steps)
同志们整齐步伐奔赴祖国的边疆,
(All of us comrades shall charged to the border of Mother China)
向前
(Forward!)
向前!
(Forward!)
我们的队伍向太阳,
(Our Army marched toward the Sun)
向最后的胜利,
(For the final victory)
向全国的解放!
(To release or rescue our country)

Sorry if any of the translation is out. My Chinese sucks big time.

Rhino123: From all of us non-Chinese speakers: MANY, MANY THANKS!

Sounds like the songs sang when high officers are listening, I bet my hat that when no officers near around the lyrics changes to more "tradditional" grunt songs
