As a war
I begin,
sound aloud with the parai (traditional drum),
O conch, O conch!
All through the night,
without the sound
dying down, blow loud,
O conch, O conch!
In this forest of wolves,
my eyes are burning torches!
With the mere breath I blow,
the entire forest will catch fire!
That I have turned
into a devil today,
proclaim it everywhere, O conch...
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
As a war
I begin,
sound aloud with the parai (traditional drum),
O conch, O conch!
All through the night,
without the sound
dying down, blow loud,
O conch, O conch!
That fear is a mistake,
proclaim at the highest pitch,
O conch...
That I follow my own path,
echo across the entire sky,
O conch...
Even if the whole town says
the answer is far away,
that the end is near,
my heart firmly believes!
To turn back,
I have no thought!
Proclaim it everywhere,
O conch...
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
Whatever obstacle comes,
defy it and blow loud,
O conch, O conch...
Even if a hundred thunderbolts strike,
without breaking, blow loud,
O conch, O conch!
Confusion is everywhere,
there is no one by my side.
Faceless enemies,
there is no way to spot them.
Yet within me,
there is no fear!
Proclaim it everywhere,
O conch...
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
O conch... blow loud, O conch...
O conch... blow loud, O conch!
O conch... O conch...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

The song is a fiery call to war and self-reliance sung by a protagonist who finds himself surrounded by unseen dangers and hostile forces. Invoking the traditional conch shell ('Sangae') and 'Parai' drum—symbols of announcement and battle heraldry—he commands the conch to roar without stopping across the skies to announce his unyielding arrival.

Poetic devices

Apostrophe
