Lose translation:

Woman has found a new identity
She has got love/respect and justice.

I wonder why are they playing with us by having this song played all the time on our main telivision channel? Trying to make us believe that it really has happened?

Because unlike you me and everyother woman, they probably havent realised that it hasnt happened yet!

Could it be possible that because both of you come from countries close to each other that you would also have heard it sang vin? Maybe on the radio or at a gathering/ festive occasion?

I don't exactly remember the full song, but I am quite sure that it is not from a movie.

You might have heard a similar kind of song. These kind of lyrics are quite common now a days: about a woman finding love/identity/blah blah blah, especially in films' songs. :)

This song has been haunting us:

Quote:

It's of a gentleman soldier
as sentry he did stand
He saluted a fair maiden
by a waiving of his hand
So then he boldly kissed her
and he passed it off as a joke
He drilled her up in the sentry box
wrapped up in a soldier's cloke

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly play
Fare you well Polly my dear
I must be going away

All night they tossed and tumbled
till the daylight did appear
The soldier rose, put on his clothes,
saying, Fare you well my dear
For the drums they are a beating
and the fifes they so sweetly play
If it weren't for that Polly my dear
with you I'd gladly stay

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly play
Fare you well Polly my dear
I must be going away

Now come you gentleman soldier,
won't you marry me?
Oh no my dearest Polly
such things can never be
for I've a wife already
children I have three
Two wives are allowed in the army
but one's too many for me

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly play
Fare you well Polly my dear
I must be going away

If anyone comes a courting you,
you can treat them to a glass
If anyone comes a courting you,
you can say you're a country lass
You needn't ever tell them,
nor pass it off as a joke
That you got drilled in a sentry box
wrapped up in a soldier's cloke

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly play
Fare you well Polly my dear
I must be going away

Oh it's come my gentleman soldier,
why didn't you tell me so?
My parents will be angy
when this they come to know
When nine months had been and gone
the poor girl she brought shame
She had a little militia boy
and she didn't know his name

And the drums are going a rap a tap tap
And the fifes they loudly play
Fare you well Polly my dear
I must be going away

Cruel, but seems real. I hope no other Polly would ever have to come across such a situation, and the same drums or any other ones never do their "rap tap tap" in such a way.
