Traduzione inglese come da “Cancion Protesta: Protest Songs of...

I VIETNAMITI SON PICCOLINI

Lo yankee è come un bestione
somiglia ad un elefante
sta in alto come un gigante
però ha la testa come un coglione.

I vietnamiti son piccolini
son piccolini sì
ma con un cuore così grande
la fanno in barba sì sì
a quel gigante sì sì.

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

Lo yankee fa da padrone
conquista pure la luna
ritorna, ma che fortuna,
dal Vietnam scappa come un coglione.

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

Lo yankee ha più di un cannone
aerei, fucili e bombe
però (...)
perchè in guerra è solo un coglione.

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

Lo yankee parte in missione
ma a terra cade di schianto
"Ohi Mamma" urla nel pianto
"perchè m' hai fatto così coglione?"

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

I vietnamiti son piccolini...

DAVID AND GOLIATH

The Yankees are pretty big guys,
Some of them look like giants,
And some like elephants.
But they don't have any hearts!

(Ch.)
The Vietnamese are pretty small.
Pretty small, yes.
But with such hearts!
Like this, big like this!

The Yankees have lots of cannons,
Cannons by the thousands,
And military academies.
But they don’t have any hearts!

The Yankees have airplanes,
They have bombs and rifles
And bullets by the millions,
But they don't have any hearts!

The Yankees have big piles
Of gunship helicopters.
They have ships and mortars,
But they don‘t have any hearts!

That’s why so many times
They are knocked out by the Vietnamese,
People who are very small,
But yet, they have hearts!
