我说不出是什么使我爱上越南 Ican't say what made me fall in love with Vietnam.
因为这的女人声音使人迷醉? That a woman's voice can drug you?

片名: 安静的美国人
越南西贡,1952 人们说不管你寻求什么 They say whatever you're looking for
你都能在这儿如愿以偿 you will find here.
人们说来到越南 They say you come to Vietnam
你能立刻明白很多事 and you understand a lot in a few minutes.

预示着你用灵魂交换的一切 promising everything in exchange for your soul.
然后是热天气 And the heat.
你的衣服马上变得不像样 Your shirt is straight away a rag.
你会记不起自己的名字 You can hardly remember your name,

这的河美极了 The river is beautiful.
没有战争,那些枪声只是烟花 You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war,
这些自欺欺人的想法都会被谅解 that the gunshots were fireworks,
只有享乐最重要 that only pleasure matters.
抽斗鸦片 A pipe of opium,
或抚摸那说爱你的女人 or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you.
然而有些事还是发生了 And then something happens,
你知道那会发生 as you knew it would,
然后一切都改变了 and nothing can ever be the same again.

没油了 We're out of petrol.
刚才肯定有谁把油吸走了 Some bugger up in the mountains must have siphoned it off.
也许他们在了望塔有备用油 They might have some spare petrol in that watchtower.

那你觉得共军来袭时他们会怎样? So what do you think they'd do if the communists attacked?
这两个人? 他们会开火然后逃跑 These two? They'd fire a shot and run.
他们为什么要为我们而死? 或为法国人 Why should they die for us? Or the French.
那是什么? 我看见有东西在动 What's that? I thought I saw something move.
