  • theme song stuck in my head

    Does anyone remember a show with these lyrics in the theme song?
    I remember it from (I think) tv in England around 1979?

    "she's waiting patiently, under the palm tree, when will I see her again?
    the war has begun, yes its begun
    carry us on to victory - mighty gods of war"

    Its been in my head for 30 years now!!!

    hi & welcome redtree

    The song you refer to is the English version of the theme to 'The Water Margin' (sung by Godiego)... that fab series we all loved in the 70's (26 episide in total.....made by Nippon TV of Japan, filmed in China in 1973, and shown in UK 1976-8....I always remember Miriam Margoyles as one of the voiceovers, and Burt Kwouk doing the narration!

    Full series available on DVD...but the theme music (English version) is impossible to track down as a download, although it can be bought from various sites

    The song actually charted over here....reached No.37 in Oct 1977

    lyrics : (its 'blossom tree' by the way)

    The Water Lilies
    Once floated gently
    Upon the Jade Green Waters

    Once we had harmony
    We had serenity
    When will it ever return?

    War has begun
    Yes, it's begun
    Carry us to Victory
    Mighty Gods of War!

    I had a vision
    Of Revolution
    To fight to save our Freedom

    The moon is rising
    There's no delaying
    When will we ever return?

    War has begun
    Yes, it's begun
    Carry us to Victory
    Mighty Gods of War!

    Our swords are flashing
    Our horses pounding
    The country's red with blood

    She's waiting patiently
    Under the blossom tree
    When will I ever return?

    War has begun
    Yes, it's begun
    Carry us to Victory
    Mighty Gods of War!
