Lyrics
English: Save me, please save me, save me, this is a story of a soldier in Vietnam / His last day in battle, he doesn't know he is going to die / But one day he knows he must, so this is the story of his fate and trust / Tell me why I must go...I will laugh and I will cry and for you I will die / One morning in the summer rain I'll be shot...oh loosing you / Save me, please save me, save me, now the soldier is on the ground / With his last ounce of strength he'll try to get up and he cannot / And his last words were save me, please save me, save me / Now I've been here and I must die for the people, they won't cry for me / Save me, please save me, save me, because I'm dying / Now the soldier's body is being sent home for the last time / His mother is waiting there to meet the body in black vale draping / His last words were please save me, save me
