Lyrics
English: In Vietnam the men are brave / They...face their task not as a slave but as men with a dream / It's theirs to hold, the battle line, though costly be the fight / They'll never let the country down but fight with all their might / The victory will soon be theirs, we do not doubt power / The countryside will soon be free from snipers... / We give them our earthly goods and send them our love / We'll never fail our fighting men, nor will their lord above / We'll glad to make this sacrifice, for brave men we applaud / We ? offering this precious life, that peace may reign above / And when the victory is won they'll come back at last / We'll all will hail a job well done, it was a noble task God bless our men in Vietnam
