Bonjour Viet Nam
by Marc Lavoine
Tell me this strange and difficult name to pronounce
that I have carried since birth
Tell me about the old empire and the features of my slanted eyes
describing me better than what you dare not say
I only know about you from images of war
A movie by Coppola and the angry helicopters
Someday I will go there, someday, I’ll say hello to your soul
Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam.
Tell me about my colour, my hair and my small feet
that I have carried since birth
Tell me about your house, your street, tell me this unknown entity
The floating markets and the wooden sampans
I only know about my country via the photos of war
A film by Coppola and the angry helicopters
Someday I will go there, one day I’ll say hello to my soul
Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam.
The temples and stone-carved Buddha statues for my fathers
The stooping women in rice fields for my mothers
Praying in the light to see my brothers again
Touch my soul, my roots, my land...
Someday I will go there, some day I’ll say hello to my soul.
Someday I will go there (to) say hello to you, Viet Nam.
