Over deze songtekst:
Dit lied gaat over een Belgische infanterie regiment, die in 1933 werd opgericht. De groep kreeg de naam: Regiment de Chasseurs Ardennais (Regiment van Jagers van de Ardennen). In 2011 werd de naam gewijzigd in Battalion de Chasseurs Ardennais (Bataljon van Jagers van de Ardennen). Het bataljon is in de Tweede Wereldoorlog bekend geworden om haar moedige strijd toen de Duitsers Belgie binnenvielen. Ze vochten zo dapper dat Rommel over hen zei: "Dit zijn geen mannen, maar groene wolven."
Adversor et admorsus is Latijn en vertaald in het Engels: Resist and bite. In het Nederlands: Verzet je en bijt (of sla terug!). Gloria fortis miles = de glorie van een dappere soldaat.
War is coming swiftly The border's closing in We're a company of soldiers Mere forty rifles strong! All alone! Stand alone! Ardenner ground is burning And Rommel is at hand As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder The war is all around! All around! Hold your ground! Fight for eighteen days of battles No odds are on our side Few will fight for all until the bullets are gone We, we will resist and bite! Bite hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right! No matter how we're fighting Their numbers will still count We're outgunned and few in numbers We're doomed to flag or fail! We fought hard! Held our guard! But when captured by the Axis And forced to tell the truth We will tell them with a smile We will surprise them with a laugh! We are all! We were all! We were told to hold the border And that is what we did Honored were our orders in spite of our foe We, we will resist and bite! Fight hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right! Gloria fortis miles, the Wehrmacht's closing in! Adversor et admorsus, the Boar against the Eagle! Gloria fortis miles, the Wehrmacht’s closing in! Adversor et admorsus, the Boar against the Eagle! We, we will resist and bite! Fight hard, 'cause we are all in sight! We, we take up arms and fight! Fight hard, resist and do what's right!
