Again, the nightmare came

I heard you cry out something

A word that sounded like a name

And it hurts me more than I can bear

Knowing part of you, I'll never share

Never know

But still

I still believe

The time will come

When nothing keeps us apart

My heart forevermore holds still

- Kim!

- It's all over, I'm here

There is nothing to fear

Chris, what's haunting you?

Won't you let me inside?

There is nothing to hide

What's hurting you?

- For still

- I will hold you all night

I will make it all right

- I still believe

- You are safe with me

- As long

- And I wish you could share

- As I

- What you're hiding in there

- Can keep believing, I'll live

- What your hell must be

- I'll live, you will return

- You can sleep now

- You can cry now

- And I know why

- I'm your wife now for life

- I'm yours

Until we die

Kim? Have you seen this girl?

Hey, you

Coo-coo, princess, look who's here

- Your resurrected Engineer

- How did you find me?

Don't look surprised, I tracked you down

I have the sharpest nose in town

I'm here to throw a rope

before you drown

For men will always be men

You change the regime,

the lust doesn't stop

You and I will team up again

Together we'll reap

the cream of the crop

Engineer, I don't want you here

I gave up that life,

you must understand

Just out there is a big shot

who waits like a pup

To come up and eat out of your hand, Kim

The good times are back

Don't go on, it's too late

Not too late for my star

- Please let me hide in peace

- Better to screw the police

Come in, Monsieur Commissar

Three years I've been away

I kept faith we would meet

See? I found her for you

You, out in the street

Out! Get out

I knew in time,

fate would weave a design

Tying your life and mine into one

Each day I'd wait

Like a soldier must wait

Trusting victory to come with the sun

After the fight

in the still of the night

I would picture my bride, bright as jade

You'll be my wife,

we will build a new life

And fulfill the vow our fathers made

My father's vow

can't be honored this way

And I pray in my heart he'll forgive

What you want now

are some words I can't say

If I lied to you, how could I live?

Don't say any more, not a word

You will change, you will learn

Look at me

Don't decide too soon

Somewhere deep in my soul

Shines the smallest of lights

And no wind blows it out

It burns steady and strong

Through the darkest of nights

Dju vui vay

Vju doi may

Dju vui vay

Vao nyay may

I made a promise once

with these words

Which neither time nor distance

can change

He will come to me still

You must be mad,

your American Jack has gone for good

And he'll never come back

- He ran away, Kim, he left you to rot

- No

I'm sure by now he already forgot

Kim, come on now, princess,

get off of your cloud

I'm sorry, sir, she was talking so loud

The Commissar is a powerful man

A girl with brains

makes a life where she can

Princess, remember your place

Don't make people lose face

Why do you look away?

I can end all this shame

All you need to say is "yes"

Kim

- On silent feet we came

- You hear those soldiers outside?

- Breathing a sheet of flame

- They'll do whatever I say

Closing in on its rightful prey

I cannot change what I feel

- Burning a hundred years away

- Soldiers, come!

I think you will change before my eyes

This Me-My has just been found

She hid the day we closed the bars

Show them that we don't forget

No one betrays us without scars

- You are a woman who lived without shame

- You're an infection left over from war

- You have dishonored the national name

- Re-education will cure the disease

- You must be shown what we do to a leech

- See how we teach an American's whore

I have heard hundreds of speeches

like these

Take it from me,

you don't want to hear more

It's time to act, my friends

It's time

Her face betrays her crime

She must pay

And her partner too

Stop!

Get out!

I said, get out!

Are you waiting for them to kill me?

Did you not get what he said?

There's a big screw loose inside you

I will rip it out of your head

There's a mad dog on a rampage

- Just appease him, everyone wins

- No

I don't give a sh*t if you love him,

say you do, and we leave with our skins

I have a husband I love

Real as the sun in the sky

- I cannot live with a lie

- You stupid...

Do you see now who has power?

Do you still think crazy things?

Chris will come to me like the phoenix

And he'll take me off on his wings

You're a traitor to your country

If I am, then let it be

I am talking of life or death now

I am talking of staying free

So there it is now,

I'll be moving on

If you don't need me, I'd rather be gone

Two kids in love

don't need strangers around

- You, just get out!

- Ho Chi Minh, I won't make a sound

And as for you

- Come with me

- No!

There is a secret

That you don't know

There is a force here

I never show

You say it's treason

To keep my vow

Season after season

I've survived somehow

If you want the reason

I will show you now

Tam!

It's OK.

Look, Thuy, this is my son

He is all that I have

Now you see why I must tell you "no"

No one must ever see

this thing you're showing me

Your bastard fouls our name

My baby's not to blame

for what I've done

You must decide upon

which side you're really on

- You whored to have that kid

- No! That isn't what I did

Don't touch my son

You must see how it is

When you're my wife

Keeping this child of his

brands us for life

No alternative, this child cannot live

No!

You will not touch him

- Don't touch my boy

- Kim

He's what I live for

He's my only joy

- You will not touch him

- He is my enemy

It's he who turns you from me

- Don't touch my boy

- Erase him from your life

Even your memory

- He's what I live for

- He's one drop in a flood

Left here to taint our blood

- He's my only joy

- Our marriage bond is sworn

Forget that he was born

Get back!

Of course you have a gun

- You will not touch my little boy

- And now you'll shoot your cousin

And it's a US gun

- And do not test my will

- A gun that lost the war

You're the corrupted one

- I'm warning you

- Go on and shoot, don't wait

- For him I'll kill

- To save your bastard son

You must not hesitate

The earth moves where I stand

- I feel the turning of a wheel

- Shoot

- I feel nothing in my hand

- Shoot

- Not even the chill of steel

- Shoot

You will not take my child

You don't know how to kill

I have no other choice

What I must do I will! No!

This is the hour

This is our land

We found the power

In our brother's hand

And from a storm

- No!

- Pierced with light

Fierce and white the lightning came

A brightening flame to end the night

One man to heed us

Each girl, each boy

One voice to lead us

In a song of joy

This is the hour

This is our land

If you want to die in bed,

follow my example

When you see a cloud ahead,

it's time to show your class
