Lyrics
English: Blow up, Hanoi has fallen towards openness / Blow up, damned Hanoi, slipped towards the impure / Like a flashback / To Viet, Viet, to Vietnam, ooh yeah! / A glorious return in the memoirs from beyond the grave / A return to the most bombed country in the world / They would come back nostalgic / For their neurotic empires, ooh, yeah / Slanted eyes, eyes closed, eh / Slanted eyes, eyes closed / Walking on flames in Vietnam / Twenty years after the blood was shed, eh! / Twenty years after the blood was shed, it's no longer worth much / Blow up, in the days of colonial splendour / Blow up, the scent of an amoral perfume / A Sunday in Saigon / The yellow light of our confusions, ooh! Yeah! / Slanted eyes, eyes closed, eh / Slanted eyes, eyes closed / Walking on flames in Vietnam / Twenty years after the blood was shed, eh! / Twenty years after the blood was shed, it's no longer worth much / In business / Oh! Oh! Slanted eyes, eyes closed / Dancing on the flames / Slanted eyes, eyes closed / Dancing on the flames / Twenty years after the blood was shed, eh / Twenty years after the blood was shed, it's no longer worth much in business __________ French: Blow up, Hanoï est tombée vers l'ouverture / Blow up Hanoï damnée glissée vers l'impure / Comme un retour de flamme / Au viet, viet, au vietnam, ouh yeah! / Retour glorieux dans les mémoires d'outre tombe / Retour au pays le plus bombardé du monde / Ils reviendraient nostalgiques / De leurs empires névrotiques ouh, yeah /…
