Heroic sailors, forge bravely ahead!
The news have been full lately of China’s dispatch of three warships to fight pirates of the coast of Somalia and Black and White Cat posted yesterday about a “stirring song to commemorate the mission to defeat the pirates of Somalia”:
The Cat has even gone one step further and took the time to translate it, as follows:
Make haste to Somalia, cruise the Gulf of Aden
With lofty sentiments, the Chinese navy heads for the deep blue
Braving wind and waves, the warship’s flag flutters, The Chinese navy, a bright sword to harmonize the ocean.Chinese warriors, valiant men with iron wills,
Intrepid journey, 600 years after Zheng He.
Heroic sailors, forge bravely ahead,
Bearing heavy responsibility, the motherland will see our triumphant return.
Play it loud, dont play it low. Blow your speakers!
MUL Adds: Borrowing media relations tactics from the U.S. in Iraq, they even embedded a reporter with the ship!
