** 2 ** BUI-DOI 혼혈아((베트남어))
(In September 1978 JOHN is addressing a conference in Atlanta that CHRIS and his wife ELLEN are attending at JOHN'S request.)
* address a conference - 회의 참석자에게 연설하다
CHOIR[kw i r] - 합창단
They're called bui-doi
The dust of life
* dust - 먼지, 가루, 쓰레기, 하찮은 것
Conceived in hell
* hell - 지옥, 고통 * conceive - 느끼다, 상상하다
And born in strife
* strife - 투쟁, 싸움
They are the living reminders
* reminder - 생각나게 하는 사람[것]
Of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget
Must not forget
That they are all our children too
JOHN
Like all survivors, I once thought
When I'm home I won't give a damn
* don't give a damn - 조금도 개의치 않다 * damn - 비난[저주]하다
But now I know I'm caught
I'll never leave Vietnam
War isn't over when it ends
Some pictures never leave your mind
They are the faces of the children
The ones we left behind
They're called bui-doi
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminders
Of all the good we failed to do
That's why we know
* That's why - 그래서, 그런 이유로
Deep in our hearts
That they are all our children too
These kids hit walls on every side
They don't belong in any place
Their secret they can't hide
It's printed on their face
I never thought one day I'd plead
* plead - 변호[변론]하다, 탄원하다
For half-breeds from a land that's torn
* half-breed - 혼혈아
But then I saw a camp for children
Whose crime was being born
They're called bui-doi
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
And born in strife
We owe them fathers, and a family
* owe - 빚지고 있다, (어떤 감정을) ∼에게 품고있다
And loving homes they never knew
Because we know
Deep in our hearts
* deep - ((부사))
That they are all our children too
These are souls in need
* in need - 곤궁에 처해 있는
They need us to give
Someone has to pay
For their chance to live CHORUS
Help me tryThey're called bui-doi
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
JOHN AND CHORUS
And born in strife
They are the living reminders
Of all the good we failed to do
CHORUS JOHN
That's why we knowThat's why we know
Deep in our heartsDeep in our hearts

That's why we know
