Hae who are we
All we soldiers
Hae never fall we
Soldiers
Having fought in war and witnessed blood,
A powerful army of warriors.
Living through pain every single day,
A fierce force that protects the nation.
With wounds upon our backs,
And injustices standing before our eyes.
Hey, who are we?
Soldiers!
Hey, we never fall!
Soldiers!
Soldiers!
Soldiers!
The love for our nation
Is always in our hearts.
Leaving our loving
Families behind at such a young age,
With memories that never fade,
Through pain too heavy to bear.
Hey thaththa!
Hey, who are we?
All of us soldiers!
Hey, we never fall!
Soldiers!
Who is a leader?
Who is a leader?
Who is a leader?
Hey, who are we?
All of us soldiers!
Hey, we never fall!
Soldiers!

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This energetic anthem highlights the physical and emotional resilience of soldiers who dedicate their lives to protecting the nation. It contrasts the harsh realities of war— wounds, blood, continuous suffering, and early separation from family—with the unyielding pride, unity, and sense of duty that define a soldier's resolve.
