The lyrics of the song are based on a poem written around 759 AD by Japanese poet Otomo no Yakamochi (718-785). The music was composed in 1937 by Kiyoshi Nobutoki (1887-1965), who was a Japanese composer, teacher, and cellist.
“Umi Yukaba” became popular in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II, and retained its popularity after the war. After the Japanese surrender, “Umi Yukaba” and other patriotic songs were banned by the Allied occupation forces. This ban was lifted with the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco in 1952, and patriotic songs experienced a mild boom in popularity. Today, “Umi Yukaba” is widely played in the Japanese military and specifically the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

English Translation:
If I go away to sea,
I shall return a corpse awash;
If duty calls me to the mountain,
A verdant sward shall be my pall.
Thus for the sake of the Emperor,
I will not die peacefully at home.
German Version:
Geht es auf das Meer,
sinke zum Grunde mein Leib.
Geht es ins Gebirg,
wachse mir Gras auf dem Leib.
Herr, an deiner Seite zu sterben,
will ich niemals um

Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля,

І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду. 𝄇

And we will show, brothers, that we are of the Cossack nation! 𝄇 State Anthem of Ukraine – Piano Instrumental [Ще не вмерла Україна – Державний гімн України]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e230mCONuQo/mqdefault.jpg)

Lyrics:
Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
Létendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !
Refrain :
𝄆 Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons !
Quun sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons ! 𝄇
Que veut cette horde desclaves,
De traîtres, de rois conjurés ?
Pour qui ces ignobles entraves,
Ces fers dès longtemps préparés ? (bis)
Français, pour nous, ah ! quel outrage
Quels transports il doit exciter !
Cest nous quon ose méditer
De rendre à lantique esclavage !
Refrain
Quoi ! des cohortes étrangères
Feraient la loi dans nos foyers !
Quoi ! Ces phalanges mercenaires
Terrasseraient nos fiers guerriers ! (bis)
Grand Dieu ! Par des mains enchaînées
Nos fronts sous le joug se ploieraient
De vils despotes deviendraient
Les maîtres de nos destinées !
Refrain
Tremblez, tyrans et vous perfides
Lopprobre de tous les partis,
Tremblez ! vos projets parricides
Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix ! (bis)
Tout est soldat pour vous combattre,
Sils tombent, nos jeunes héros,
La terre en produit de nouveaux,
Contre vous tout prêts à se battre !
Refrain
Français, en guerriers magnanimes,
Portez ou retenez vos coups !
Épargnez ces tristes victimes,
À regret sarmant contre nous. (bis)
Mais ces despotes sanguinaires,
Mais ces complices de Bouillé,
Tous ces tigres qui, sans pitié,
Déchirent le sein de leur mère !
Refrain
Amour sacré de la Patrie,
Conduis, soutiens nos bras vengeurs
Liberté, Liberté chérie,
Combats avec tes défenseurs ! (bis)
Sous nos drapeaux que la victoire
Accoure à tes mâles accents,
Que tes ennemis expirants
Voient ton triomphe et notre gloire !
Refrain
Couplet des enfants:[c]
Nous entrerons dans la carrière
Quand nos aînés ny seront plus,
Nous y trouverons leur poussière
Et la trace de leurs vertus (bis)
Bien moins jaloux de leur survivre
Que de partager leur cercueil,
Nous aurons le sublime orgueil
De les venger ou de les suivre.
Refrain
English Translation:
Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us stands tyranny
Her bloody standard has been raised, (repeated)
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They come right into your arms
To tear the throats of your sons, your wives!
Refrain:
𝄆 To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let’s March, let’s march!
So that an impure
blood waters our furrows! 𝄇
What does this horde of slaves
Of traitors and invented kings want?
For whom have these vile chains
These irons, been long prepared? (repeated)
Frenchmen, for us, ah! What outrage
What furious action it must arouse!
It is for us they dare plan
A return to the old slavery!
Refrain
What! Foreign cohorts!
Would make the law in our homes!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would strike down our proud warriors! (repeated)
Great God! By chained hands
Our brows would yield under the yoke
Vile despots would themselves become
The masters of our destinies!
Refrain
Tremble, tyrants and you traitors
The shame of all parties,
Tremble! Your parricidal schemes
Will finally receive their prize! (repeated)
Everyone is a soldier to combat you,
If they fall, our young heroes,
Will be produced anew from the ground,
Ready to fight against you!
Refrain
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
Spare those sorry victims,
For regretfully arming against us (repeated)
But these bloodthirsty despots
These accomplices of Bouillé
All these tigers who, mercilessly,
Tear apart their mothers breast!
Refrain
Sacred love of the Fatherland,
Lead, support our avenging arms
Liberty, cherished Liberty
Fight with your defenders! (repeated)
Under our flags may victory
Hurry to your manly accents
So that your expiring enemies
See your triumph and our glory!
Refrain
Childrens verse:
We shall enter the (military) career
When our elders are no longer there
There we shall find their dust
And the trace of their virtues (repeated)
Much less keen to survive them
Than to share their coffins
We shall have the sublime pride
To avenge or follow them.
Refrain
