Delta Oh I wandered long ago On the banks of the river, On that dark delta They call Mekong; In all of this lonely place I'm the only one livin'; All of my brothers, Dark river, all of them gone. I lost my mind When I lost my brothers; I lost my brothers, I carry their song; Now every night, on the banks of the river, I hear songs of my brothers, Dark river, deep Mekong. Now every river Is just one river, And every river Holds a soldier's song; Every soldier Knows a soldier's story: Sing to me gently, dark river, Deep Mekong; Every soldier Knows a soldier's story, Sing to me gently Songs of my brothers, Deep Mekong.
