- Brave and patriotic heroes -
To you who stay up wake,
And keep all night,
Risking it all, facing death
While I sleep and snore
I stand still and salute you all
You great men of valour
Men of courage, strength and Might
Heroes with heroic spirit
Tirelessly battling our foes
I respect and salute you all
You defenders of our land
Towering mighty men of arms
Out there among wild-thick thorns
Strong triggers pullers
I stand attention in your honour
You our protectors,
Confronting foes and taking on aliens
Taking bullets for our sake
So we can all live,
I salute your unwavering courage
You our brave shielders,
Under scourging sun and storming rain
Chasing out evil men
Your tireless efforts is not in vain
I stand tall and still for you
You guardians of our land,
I join the legion of compatriots
Sending my endless prayers
To you courageous heroes
I shoot guns of salute for you
For us,
You never sleep nor slumber
Never tired or worn-out
Never retreat or surrender
But remained strong and brave
I stand with you!
But you fallen heroes and heroines
For our sake all,
Your lives got cut short in your prime
You paid all prices
Made sacrificial lambs
For us all.
I pour out my heart for you
You who,
Never return into warm arms
Who never run back into loving hands
Whose dreams never see the light
We're with you even in six-feet below
Our solidarities are with those you left
Your soul have certainly found rest
Rest on fallen heroes!
