Dive into the Lyrics: Saigon Girl Transporting Bullets
1. Birds sing, echoing through the forest and streams, calling us forth. We embark, burdened with determination. Golden apricot blossoms mingle with camouflaged leaves. Night mist dampens our cloth hats. We traverse the forest alongside the liberation army. Since the urban areas rose, we, sisters, carry ammunition, enabling our brethren to vanquish the enemy. Oh mortar shells, on the distant road, do you tire? Through night and day, hunger may assail, but the longer the path, the greater the burden. Together, we bear the weight of love. The arduous battle never leaves us.
[REFRAIN:]
Sisters, each bullet carries our hearts. With our brethren, we contribute to extinguishing the enemy. Despite falling bombs, despite countless enemy strongholds, may our brethren find solace with each shell in their hands. We, urban girls, in our youthful prime, dedicate ourselves to liberating our homeland. Sisters, the belief in victory propels us forward. Behold, the fire line awaits us. (Saigon awaits us to transport ammunition home.) 2. Yesterday, we never bore such a heavy load. I never crossed streams carrying burdens. I never endured the sun or rain. Today, I am a soldier, with steadfast shoulders and a springtime heart. Happiness surges as we battle the Americans. Despite danger, I falter not. Oh mortar shells, how endearing like a child, throughout the night and day, I cradle you on my shoulders. The journey back to the urban area is still far, but today, in fighting the enemy, I am here, alone.
