Ware wa kan gun wagateki wa
Tenchiirezaru choutekizo2
Teki no taishou taru mono wa
Kokon musou no eiyuu de
Kore ni shitagou tsu wa mono wa

Kijinni hajinu yuuaru mo
Tenno yurusanu hangyaku wo
Okoseshi mono wa mukashi yori
Sakae shitame shi arazaru zo
Teki no horoburu sore made wa
Susume ya susume moro tomo ni

Battotai Lyrics English Translation
I am the government army, my enemy is
Unforgiving enemy of the morning
The enemy's general is
A hero like no other (twins)
The soldiers who follow him are
Together, a warrior of desperation
There is courage to be ashamed of a demon
heaven's unforgivable rebellion
The originator has long been
There is no such thing as a glorious example
Until the enemy's deceased husband (until then)
go ahead and go ahead
Take the Tamakiru Tsurugi with you
You should move forward with the intention of dying
Wind of the Empire (Mikuni) and Samurai (Mononofu)
The soul that protects itself
This time the Meiji Restoration has been destroyed
The modernity of Japanese swords (Yamatogatana)
Also, a tribute to the world
Both the enemy and the body
You should die under the fire
one who has the spirit of Yamato
The time to die is now
Don't be ashamed of being left behind
Until the enemy's deceased husband (until then)
go ahead and go ahead
Take the Tamakiru Tsurugi with you
You should move forward with the intention of dying
Battotai Lyrics In Japanese
我は官軍我（わが）敵は
天地容れざる朝敵ぞ
敵の大將たる者は
古今無雙（双）の英雄で
之に從ふ兵（つわもの）は
共に慓悍（ひょうかん）決死の士
鬼神（きしん）に恥（はじ）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（ためし）あらざるぞ
敵の亡ぶる夫迄（それまで）は
進めや進め諸共に
玉ちる劔（つるぎ）拔き連れて
死ぬる覺悟で進むべし
皇國（みくに）の風（ふう）と武士（もののふ）の
其身（そのみ）を護る靈（たましい）の
維新このかた廢（すた）れたる
日本刀（やまとがたな）の今更に
又（また）世に出づる身の譽（ほまれ）
敵も身方も諸共に
刄（やいば）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（おく）れて恥かくな
敵の亡ぶる夫迄（それまで）は
進めや進め諸共に
玉ちる劔（つるぎ）拔き連れて
死ぬる覺悟で進むべし
