Farewell my wistful Saigon bride 永别了我渴望的西贡新娘

I'm going out to stem the tide 我要出去扭转局面。

A tide that never saw the seas 一个，从来没有见过大海涨潮

It flows through jungles, round the trees 它流经丛林，圆形树

Some say it's yellow, some say red 有人说这是黄色的，有的说红

It will not matter when we're dead 这并不重要，当我们就死定了

To build a dike that will not break? 要构建堤防，不会打破？

How many children must we kill 有多少孩子一定要杀死

Before we make the waves stand still? 之前我们做了波浪停滞不前？

   

Though miracles come high today 虽然今天的奇迹来高

We have the wherewithal to pay 我们有足够的资金支付

It takes them off the streets you know 这需要它们赶走你知道街头

To places they would never go alone 的地方，他们将永远不会孤独

It gives them useful trades 这让他们非常有用的行业

The lucky boys are even paid 幸运的男孩甚至付出

   

Men die to build their Pharoah's tombs 男人要死要建立自己的法老陵墓

And still and still the teeming wombs 仍然，仍然拥挤的子宫

How many men to conquer Mars 有多少男人征服火星

How many dead to reach the stars? 有多少死到达星星？
