Momotaro, Sacred Sailors Page #2

for we naval paratroops to demonstrate

the results of our secret training.

I realize censorship restrictions

have been hard on you.

And you have had to keep secrets

from your families.

Tomorrow we will

attack the enemy to the last man.

Are you all ready?

Yes, sir!

Good.

Tonight is our last night.

The strike force departs at 4am.

Good.

Good.

"Chocolate"

On the everlasting blue southern seas,

small islands ringed by palms,

scattered like a starry night.

Among them is an island

as beautiful as a dream.

The king of Goa reigned there

in days gone by.

The islanders lived happily

under the king's kindness.

One day, a strange black ship

appeared at the port.

The entire island was in a panic.

A minister reported

these happenings to the king.

A white man, with a big nose,

landed and went to the palace.

"O merciful king of Goa.

We are merchants from

a distant country.

We wish to be good friends

with your people, like brothers.

It is hard for us to go back

to our ship every day.

Therefore, if you provide us with housing,

it will make our stay so much easier.

We have treasures from

all over the world in our ship.

We have Persian carpets,

Egyptian tobacco,

Indian jewels, Siamese necklaces,

Cambodian calico,

Chinese tea and gold,

wool and gold dust.

I wish to land and show you

all these treasures.

We need some premises to display them.

We don't ask for much.

Something the size of this coin will do."

"Thank you for your permission,

O merciful king of Goa."

The surprised king told the captain,

he and his men

had broken promises.

"That may well be.

These are the commercial ways

of our country."

"This is our custom."

The king of Goa

fought well till the end.

But in the end he was defeated,

and the pirates looted the island.

There is a stone tablet

in the deep jungle.

It has a carved message.

"In bright moonlight,

a sacred soldier will come

from the East atop a white horse.

He will free the people."

Go and run, run and go!

Look over the wings, and go

Run faster, go further

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Use your body and legs, and run

Run faster and go further

Go everyone

Go and run, run and go

Run, everyone

Chocks away!

Chocks away!

--Chocks away!

--Chocks away!

Several thousand miles

from my own land

Across the ocean,

deep into the enemy's camp

We have trained our bodies

to be as hard as steel

Wings, take us across

the skies to our target

Fly ever onwards and

make good our advance

Bloom, O faithful parachutes

"30 minutes to the drop. Good luck.

--The Captain"

30 minutes to go.

Put on your parachutes.

Ready to jump.
