BONJOUR VIETNAM

Raconte moi ce mot étrange et difficile à prononcer
Que je porte depuis que je suis née.
Raconte moi le vieil empire et le trait de mes yeux bridés,
Qui disent mie ux que moi ce que tu n’oses dire.
Je ne sais de toi que des images de la guerre,
Un film de Coppola et des hélicoptères en colère.
Un jour, j’irai là-bas, un jour dire bonjour à ton âme
Un jour, j’irai là-bas te dire bonjour, Vietnam.
Raconte moi ma couleur, mes cheveux, et mes petits pieds,
Qui me portent depuis que je suis née.
Raconte moi ta maison, ta rue, raconte moi cet inconnu,
Les marchés flottants et les sampans de bois.
Je ne connais de mon pays que des photos de la guerre,
Un film de Coppola et des hélicoptères en colère.
Un jour, j’irai là-bas, un jour dire bonjour à mon âme.
Un jour, j’irai là-bas te dire bonjour, Vietnam.
Les temples et les Bouddhas de pierre pour mes pères,
Les femmes courbées dans les rizières pour mes mères,
Dans la prière, dans la lumière, revoir mes frères,
Toucher mon âme, mes racines, ma terre.
Un jour, j’irai là-bas, un jour dire bonjour a` mon âme.
Un jour, j’irai là-bas te dire bonjour, Vietnam.



HELLO VIETNAM

Tell me this name, strange and difficult to pronounce
That I have carried since my birth
Tell me the old empire and the feature of my slanted eyes
Describing me better than what you dare not say
I only know you from the war images
A Coppola movie, (and) the angry helicopters
Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam
Tell me my color, my hair and my small feet
That I have carried since my birth
Tell me your house, your street, tell me this unknown entity
The floating markets and the wooden sampans
I could only recognize my country from the war photos
A Coppola movie, (and) the helicopters in anger
Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam
The temples and the stone-carved Buddha statues for my fathers
The stooping women in the rice fields for my mothers
Praying in the light to see my brothers again
To touch my soul, my roots, my land..
Someday, I will go there, someday to say hello to your soul
Someday, I will go there, to say hello to you, Vietnam (twice)
