This song is about the Battle of Doiran where Bulgarian troops stood against a larger invading British force. Due to strong command and strong fortifications, they were able to hold the line.
[Narrative Intro]
It was said that if the Balkan front fell, the war would be over. The Bulgarian troops knew this very well. And when the enemy showed up, in impressive numbers at their doorstep, there was no falling back. There was no surrender, the impressive defence forged the legend of the Valley of Death
[Verse 1]
Dug in deep, equipped for attack
Outnumbered, dеtermined to win
Double trеnch 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
[Pre-Chorus]
United they're strong, united they're holding the line
The Valley of Death awaiting the British as they come their way
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Fortified and made to defy
Protected by wires and guns
Troops as far as the eye can see
They advance under Vazov's 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 defence is still intact
[Pre-Chorus]
For white green and red, for the nation they're fighting for
The British are done, three times the defence of Doiran has been won
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
For white green and red, for the nation they're fighting for
The British are done, three times the defence of Doiran has been won
[Chorus]
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, fight them until the end
