Lyrics

Original in Taiwanese Mandarin
飄揚的旗幟，嘹亮的號角 戰鬪的行列是他快樂的家 一心一意熱愛著國家 更把生命獻給了他 道不完南征北討的往事 數不盡一身光榮的瘡疤 哪怕白了少念頭報國的心意 就像一朵不凋零的鮮花！
English translation
The waving flags, the loud horns, and the parade of horses are his happy home. He loves his country wholeheartedly and devotes his life to country. He can tell endless stories of past conquests in the north and south. He has countless glorious scars on his body, even if they are white, he only thought of serving the country at a young age. My heart is like a flower that never withers!
