The "Guerrillas' Song" (simplified Chinese: 游击队歌; traditional Chinese: 游擊隊歌; pinyin: yóu jī duì gē) is a Chinese patriotic song from the Second Sino-Japanese War (called The War of Resistance Against Japan (Chinese: 抗日戰爭) both in ROC and PRC).
The song describes the guerrilla (i.e. the Chinese resistance) fighters in China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was written and composed by He Lüting (贺绿汀) in 1937. The melody has some similarities to "The British Grenadiers" (but it is not known if this song has had any direct influence on its melody).[citation needed]
The song is also sung in Taiwan.

我们都是神枪手 在密密的树林里 没有吃 没有穿 我们生长在这里 哪怕日本强盗凶 让敌人乱冲闯 不分穷 不分富 我们越打越坚强 | 我們都是神槍手 在密密的樹林裡 沒有吃 沒有穿 我們生長在這裡 哪怕日本強盜兇 讓敵人亂衝闖 不分窮 不分富 我們越打越堅強 | wǒmén dōu shì shén qiāngshǒu zài mìmì de shùlín lǐ méiyǒu chī méiyǒu chuān wǒmén shēng zhǎng zài zhèlǐ nǎ pà rìběn qiáng dào xiōng ràng dírén luàn chōngchuǎng bù fēn qióng bù fēn fù wǒmén yuè dǎ yuè jiānqiáng | We are all sharpshooters, In the dense forests, Nothing to eat, nothing to wear? We are born in this place Though the Japanese bandits are vicious, Let the enemy rush around aimlessly, No matter poor or rich, We become stronger in the struggle, |
