Over deze songtekst:

De Slag bij Doiran vond plaats op 18 en 19 september 1918. Die slag vond plaats bij het Dojran Meer. Aan de ene kant de Bulgaren en aan de andere kant de Britten en Grieken. De Bulgaren hadden hun bunkers in de heuvels bij het meer gebouwd. De bunkers waren zo goed geconstrueerd dat zware artillerie nauwelijks iets uithaalde. Onder enorme verliezen (de geallieerden verloren ruim 20.000 soldaten) slaagde de Britten en Grieken de stad Doiran te bereiken. Vandaar trokken ze de heuvels in.

Daarnaast hadden de Servische en Franse legers de Bulgaren in de Vardar vallei verslagen.

Uiteindelijk gaven de Bulgaren zich over. Dat was op 30 september 1918.

De Engelsen hadden zoveel respect voor Vladimir Vazov, de Bulgaarse commandant, dat ze hem na de oorlog een aantal malen uitnodigde om naar Engeland te komen waar hij gast colleges gaf op eem militaire academie. Hij had zich een waardige tegenstander getoond die met respect behandeld dient te worden.

Dug in deep, equipped for attack
Outnumbered, determined to win
Double trench lines that won't give in
They're prepared let the battle begin

Here again, they've done this before
A lesson that they should have learned by now
Reinforced with new men and guns
Who are ready for death when it comes

United they're strong, united they're holding the line
The Valley of Death awaiting the British as they come their way

Their attack is coming, fight them back
Bulgarians holding the line
Facing wave after wave, will never surrender
Again, again, again, again
They attack, Bulgaria held them back
Unleash their counter barrage
Let it rain artillery pounding the trenches
No surrender, fight them until the end

Fortified and made to defy
Protected by wires and guns
Troops as far as the eye can see
They advance under Vazovs command

Row on row, as they come from below
Twice they attack, twice they're beaten back
Every time they try, they will die
Their line of defense is still intact

For white, green and red, for the nation they're fighting for
The British are done, three times the defense of Doiran has been won

Their attack is coming, fight them back
Bulgarians holding the line
Facing wave after wave, will never surrender
Again, again, again, again
They attack, Bulgaria held them back
Unleash their counter barrage
Let it rain artillery pounding the trenches
No surrender, fight them until the end

For white, green and red, for the nation they're fighting for
The British are done, three times the defense of Doiran has been won

Their attack is coming, fight them back
Bulgarians holding the line
Facing wave after wave, will never surrender
Again, again, again, again
They attack, Bulgaria held them back
Unleash their counter barrage
Let it rain artillery pounding the trenches
No surrender, fight them until the end Vladimir
