Вы дали мне подарок
You gave me a gift
В мой молодой возраст:
At my young age:
Отправили меня за океан
Sent me to the ocean
Пробудив во мне страх
Awakers in me fear
И я вопрошаю, почему сейчас?
And I ask, why now?
Почему я, зачем война?
Why am I, why war?
И я вопрошаю
And I ask
К чему эта Вьетнамская война?
Why is this Vietnamese war?
И я сидел там у края берега
And I sat there at the edge of the coast
Мы спрыгнули с катера
We jumped from the boat
И повсюду были Чарли*
And there were Charlie everywhere*
Много стрельбы и убитых
A lot of shooting and killed
А всем, кажись, плевать
And everyone, seem, spit
И я вопрошаю, почему сейчас?
And I ask, why now?
Мы отвечаем: «Никак нет!»
We answer: "Not at all!"
И я вопрошаю
And I ask
Почему я, зачем война?
Why am I, why war?
И я сидел там у края берега
And I sat there at the edge of the coast
60 тысяч человек полегло
60 thousand people were killed
Пока вы сидели здесь
While you were sitting here
Вы пришли в наши дома
You came to our homes
И забрали наших детей
And they took our children
А теперь просите ещё
Now ask for more
Для этой новой войны
For this new war
И теперь вы просите ещё одной
And now you ask for another
Вьетнамской войны
Vietnamese war
И я сидел там у края берега
And I sat there at the edge of the coast
