Lyrics
English: When Johnny comes marching home again, hooray, hurrah / Long live our love...here's a toast to happiness, long live our love / When we were childhood sweethearts we had made a simple vow / We vowed to love each other and I know we wont stop now... / But somethings come between us and its not another girl / But alot of people need you, there is trouble in the world / It's the fighting that has come between us, and its / Taken you far far away, but please don't wonder if I'll be faithful / You're in my heart both night and day, so, darling, I send my love to you / While you are fighting overseas and, I know one day, if we are lucky / God will send you back to me, long live our love, long live our happiness
