THE BLACK APRIL 1975

The black April 1975, national mourning for Vietnam
Remember heroes who sacrificed for country
Protected Viet Nam from China invading 
Maintained independence, democracy, freedom 

The operations to fight communists remarkable 
The battles in Quang Tri 72, Paracel Island 1974
Recaptured the old capital Hue, Tết of 1968
The brave soldiers in battles of BinhLong, AnLoc, BinhGia...

Then the cease fight treaty signed by both sides (Paris 1973)
Later US troops and Allies withdrew, communists betrayed the treaty
The North Viet Nam still having help of Russia and China 
The Republic of Vietnam was lonely and defeated

The South have been"liberated" to become proletariat
Communists occupied the South, stole properties become rich
Millions of officers had been forced into jails
So many people died in "reeducation camps"

Many commanders did suicide rather than surrendering
Families broke, lives having no future 
People have lived in fear, millions had escaped
Hundreds of thousands died under sea

Look back since country occupied by communists
The civilization has been buried
Land of Ancestors gave to China 
Created a chance for country to be destroyed 

The living of society is luxury, but inside empty
Corruption disaster is disrupting to build country
Young people have been learnt untrue history 
The heroes fought China invading are ignored 

Black April, a sadness, regret Republic of Viet Nam
Remember all heroes died for country, and victims of Communist 
Pray for all souls resting in peace.
May God bless VietNam Motherland
