A hundred million citizens will rejoice, today is the day
that Singapore finally falls!
Ah, the fullness of the sea.
Our fathers and fellow countrymen;
this Fortress is about to fall!
No matter how proud you are,
a century of karma has come.
A flash of lightning
will make the enemy shiver and the mountains shake.
The curtains will be closed on their stronghold!
From the homeland, I've come a thousand miles
in blood, fire and bullets.
The bravery of these advancing soldiers,
advancing along their path with tears.
After the homefront, we'll all be weeping.
A hundred million citizens will rejoice, today is the day
the invasion is finally over.
The rising sun brightly blooms.
The time to defend Asia has come,
Asia will be ours!
