ハノイの恋人 (Lover of Hanoi) (斎藤佳代) (Kayo Saito)

Vietnam War, Japanese records: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/JBrummer/vietnam-war-japanese-songs/
Another version of the song "ハノイの恋人" ("Lover of Hanoi") (EMI Music Japan # OCP-7603) written and composed by Yuichi Tsuboi Osamu and Nakamura. The song was a love story involving a disabled veteran of the war: "I can't stand in front of you, with both my legs ripped off by a bomb".

"Even if the war ends and he comes back / I can't marry him anymore / Even though we made a promise together / I can't stand in front of you / With both my legs ripped off by a bomb / Even if true peace were to come to the sky over Hanoi / I'm sure I'd never see him again / Even if he sees me like this, he's a kind person / So he'll hold me close to his heart and never let me go / So I'm writing a letter to him now / When I'm with someone who's much nicer than you / I can't stand being in front of you with my legs ripped off by a bomb / So I just wrote a letter to that person / I'm much nicer than you / When you're with someone" [auto-translation used]

戦いが終わりあの人が / 帰ってきたとしても / 私はもう彼とは / 結婚できません / 胸を合わせて誓い合った / 約束でしたのに / 爆弾で両足を /　もぎ取られた姿で / あなたの前に行くなんて / とてもできません / ハノイの空に本当の / 平和が来たとしても / 私はもう彼とは / きっと会わ / ないでしょう/ 私のこんな姿を見ても / 優しい人だから / 私を胸にいだき / 離さないでしょう / だから今あの人に / 手紙を書きました / あなたよりずっと素敵な / 人と一緒になると / 爆弾で両足を / もぎ取られた姿で / あなたの前に行くなんて / とてもできません / だから今あの人に　/ 手紙を書きました / あなたよりずっと素敵な /　人と一緒になると"
