"抜刀隊" - Imperial Japanese Army Song (Battōtai)

"Battōtai" is a Japanese gunka. The song references the Battōtai who fought in the Battle of Tabaruzaka during the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion.
Japanese Lyrics:
我は官軍我敵は
天地容れざる朝敵ぞ
敵の大將たる者は
古今無雙の英雄で
之に從ふ兵は
共に慓悍决死の士
鬼神に恥ぬ勇あるも
天の許さぬ叛逆を
起しゝ者は昔より
榮えし例あらざるぞ
敵の亡ぶる夫迄は
進めや進め諸共に
玉ちる劔拔き連れて
死する覺悟で進むべし
皇國の風と武士の
其身を護る靈の
維新このかた廢れたる
日本刀の今更に
又世に出づる身の譽
敵も身方も諸共に
刃の下に死ぬべきぞ
大和魂ある者の
死ぬべき時は今なるぞ
人に後れて恥かくな
敵の亡ぶる夫迄は
進めや進め諸共に
玉ちる劔拔き連れて
死する覺悟で進むべし
Transliteration into rōmaji:
Ware wa kangun waga teki wa
Tenchi irezaru chouteki zo
Teki no taishou taru mono wa
Kokon musou no eiyuu de
Kore ni shitagou tsuwamono wa
Tomo ni hyoukan kesshi no shi
Kijin ni hajinu yuuaru mo
Ten no yurusanu hangyaku wo
Okoseshi mono wa mukashi yori
Sakaeshi tameshi arazaru zo
Teki no horoburu sore made wa
Susume ya susume moro tomo ni
Tamachiru tsurugi nuki tsurete
Shisuru kakugo de susumu beshi
Mikuni no fuuto mono no fu wa
Sonomi wo mamoru tamashii no
Ishiin kono kata sutaretaru
Nippontou no ima sara ni
Mata yo ni izuru mi no homare
Teki mo mikata mo moro tomo ni
Yaiba no mono ni shisu beki ni

Shinubeki toki wa ima naruzo
Hito ni okurete haji kakuna
Teki no horoburu sore made wa
Susume ya susume moro tomo ni
Tamachiru tsurugi nuki tsurete
Shisuru kakugo de susuwu beshi
