A Drop Of Water

A DROP OF WATER

Music and lyrics: Ngô Tự Lập
Arrangement: Trần Đức Minh
Sung by Minh Đức

1. Whether Russia's invasion
Or Crimea's wish,
And Obama and Hollande
Are the same as Putin

What they say, I don't care
Cos I don't believe
I think it'd be better if
Russia joined Crimea

Better, if Europe and America both joined Crimea
And much better, if they were followed by China
It would be best if all the nations joined Crimea
And this planet will be a peaceful Crimea.

No, I'm not a mad man
I hope truly
That this planet will be
A place called Crimea.

2. But tell me please why Crimea?
Why not Iran
Or Samoa, or Pakistan
Or Abu Ghraib?

Yes, tell me please why Crimea?
Why not Togo
Or Belize, or Morocco
Or Guantanamo?

It's good if Europe and America join Guantanamo
And it's better if so do Russia and China
The best, I think, all the nations join Guantanamo
And this planet will be a Guantanamo.

No, I'm not a mad man
I hope truly
That this planet will be
A Guantanamo

3. But tell me why Guantanamo,
Why not Congo
Not Huanghe, or Nyando
And why not Mekong?

And tell me why a river,
Why not a pond
A green lotus, a pine cone
Or a roadside stone

It's good if Europe and America join the stone
And it's better if so do Russia and China
The best, I think, all the nations join the stone
And this planet will be a roadside stone.

No, I'm not a mad man
I hope truly
That this planet will be
A roadside stone

4. And why not a rain drop,
A drop from the sky
And the people, and you and I,
We all join the drop,

With the worms, and the flies
And the chicken fleas,
We all species will be
Water citizens.

It's good if Europe and America join the drop
And it's better if so do Russia and China
The best, I think, all the nations join the drop
And this planet will be a water drop.

No, I'm not a mad man
I hope truly
That we all someday will be
Water citizens.
