The Ode To The French Legionnaires At Jipyung-Ri

As freedom fighters, they were all the volunteers
The heroes of war, experienced, the legionnaires
Disembarking battlefield, they encamped the Jipyung-ri,
Like a flood rushed the Chinese, red Army.

Immediately below the front line, stealthily
In the dark, approached near, but the enemy
Were exposed by the experienced veteran and they left
The corpses, the action of French was deft.

Again and Again Red Army attacked
In waves, hand-to-hand, the cracked
Legionnaires defended the fortress, the binded
Enemies all were absentminded.

The triumph of the Gapyeong was wrought from Jipyung-ri
Owing to Gapyeong\'s triumph, Seoul
Was Safe. And the triumph recorded on war-history,
Forever will remember the invincible soul.
