Oh there ! My Old Lover ! Oh there !
***************************



Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Everything is so new 
And everything is also old ! .. ..
There must be a Free Land without wire fencing
With the Great Vietnam Dream :
Freedom and Democracy 
Here our Vietnam Dream is narrow
That's why 
I must go back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
That's why 
I will come back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Oh there ! A promised land .. ..
 
*

Oh there ! My Old Lover !
We must have courage 
And we must be brave
But everything is still possible at my age
Although both of us, we are not young now
If we do have strength and faith
We can reach that Dream's limit

That's why 
I must go back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
That's why 
I will come back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Oh there ! A promised land .. ..
 
Let's return !
Oh there ! Oh there ! 
There where storms and wrecks do still exist
But let's return !
Or never ! ! !
Oh there ! Oh there ! 
There where do still exist fire, devils and mirages
It's not easy 
But let's return !
Or never ! ! !

*

I do know my Old Lover
You're so fragile sometimes
But please stay with me 
And let's return !
Oh there ! Oh there ! 
There where we still have so much love to do
Perhaps so much new happiness to come
I do hope you as Wife and Mother
I do want you as Mother  and Wife 
But you, you still hesitate to leave for there 
Here we are both in an economic machine without mercy
Here everything is already decided by computer
There everything is so new 
And there everything is also old ! .. ..
And we can build and change it
Everything depends on our  will and our good will
And me and you, we're not born here 
 
*

Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Far from our modern lives 
Far from our solitude in a megacity
I shall forget your voice and your face
Even if I still hold your image tight in my heart
But perhaps you escape already from me there
 Maybe I'll have my chance 
 And the pride that we don't have here
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 Everything you deserve is yours
Oh there ! Oh there !
 Everything I deserve is mines
 Let's return !
 Here an indifferent economic machine 
Without mercy imposes its cold laws
There everything is so new 
And there everything is also old ! .. ..

*

Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Perhaps I'll maybe lose you there
Let's return !
 But I loose myself if I still stay here
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 Life does let me the best choice
I'm condamned by the Choice
Let's return !
 You and me it'll be there or not
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
There everything is so new 
And there everything is also old ! .. ..
Let's return !
There must be a Free Land without wire fencing
With the Great Vietnam Dream :
Freedom and Democracy 
Here our Vietnam Dream is narrow

*

Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 Beautiful as you can never imagine
Let's return !
 Here our dreams are narrow
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
That's why 
I must go back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
That's why 
I will come back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Oh there ! A promised land .. ..
 Let's return !
 The Choice isn't given to me
 Life does let me the best choice
I'm condamned by the Choice

*

Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 I loose myself if I stay here
Let's return !
That's why 
I must go back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
That's why 
I will come back there
Oh there ! Oh there !
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
Oh there ! A promised land .. ..
Which we call Viet..nam .. .. 
 Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 Oh there ! Our beloved Hanoi
Oh there ! My Old Lover !
 Oh there ! Our beloved Saigon
Our dear Pearl of the Far East 
Oh there ! Viet..nam .. .. 
Oh there ! Our old Homeland
Oh there !  Your Fatherland
Oh there ! My Motherland .. ..
