Jingos opening theme song
This is just my take on what I think The Saga of Tanya the Evil’s opening theme song is based on how the lyrics sound to me and what I know of the show. This was done partly for fun and partly because as far as I can tell there is no actual official English translation since the ones I listened to/read were all different from each other.
Start:
I will not hold off
I will not hold off
I will not run off
I will not run off
Don't run away
We've got a war to win!
I know that's what we want.
I know that's what we want.
Oh wow, you're crying?
Do I look like I care?
I know that it's a war we've got.
I know that it's a war we've got.
Coming up, coming up
I expect far more from you
If you can't keep this up
Then go die
Then go die
Not enough, not enough
You’ve got to give it your all.
There's no such thing as a God!
We are all the Jingos! Ooooooohhooohoooh
Come on up, give your best!
I will never surrender!
We are all the Jingos! Ooooooohhooohoooh
If you think that I'll give up
Then you don't know me well at all!
We are all the Jingos! Ooooooohhooohoooh
I know that it's a war we've got.
I know that's what we want.
We are all the Jingos! Ooooooohhooohoooh
I know that it's a war we've got.
I know that's what we want.
End.
Now for those who don’t know(cuz I hadn’t heard this term myself before I watched the show) Jingo or Jingoism rather is defined by Google as: extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy. It was also noted to be a derogatory term and given my understanding of Tanya and how I’m almost positive her character is also sings at least a good portion of the theme song...I’d say it falls in line with her character to use it since she’s not patriotic(merely faking it) and she’s expressed a distaste in the very concept of war as well as any “faulty” tactics or pride or complacency which could cause it to be prolonged...like what happened at the end of season one. So her insulting her fellow military peeps or even just everyone in general that way feels pretty legit to me.
