Odd historical correlation: this song was being played by a lot of US troops when the invasion of Cambodia happened in 1970. The Pol Pot regime, which took power in 1975, adopted the following as their anthem:
The red, red blood splatters the cities and plains
of the Cambodian fatherland,
The sublime blood of the workers and peasants,
The blood of revolutionary combatants of both sexes,
The bloods spills out into great indignation
and a resolute urge to fight,
17 April, that day under the revolutionary flag,
The blood certainly liberates us from slavery.
