Soldiers are a country’s wealth
Guard your nation and your wealth
Leave their homes to keep you safe
Stay in places you never dwell
Scale the terrain hard to trail
Eat the food you never accept
Valor is their middle name
Live for the nation and die for it
March forward and never retreat
Round the clock they are on guard
Keep you safe from enemies abroad
They are the pride of every heart
Salute them for their mettle and might
Bow to their parents for their sacrifice
