Era sulu kaki mai
Cauravou ena gauna edai
Macawa e vanua e wai
Kei ira kece na duikaikai
Era vala ka veisisivi
Lagilagi dina dau kedra idivi
Nida raica dina sara ga e ke
Na Mataivalu ni Viti
Red White and Navy Blue
Army Navy and the Air Force too
We’ll fight side by side
We are proud of you
Over land or sea or sky
Where the bullets go whistling by
You’ll find the Fiji Battalion
Fighting by your side
When I lived in Cairo in the 1990s, I played rugby for Cairo rugby club. We used to play against the Fujian forces stationed on the Israeli border and spent some memorable times with them.
I remember them see this song so well and now off and sing it to my wife and children, it brings back so many memories.
Those rugby players were amazing singers
