《El Salvador(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:01] El Salvador - Peter, Paul & Mary

[00:00:01] Written by：Stookey Noel Paul/Wallis Jim

[00:00:23] There's a sunny little country south of Mexico

[00:00:27] Where the winds are gentle and the waters flow

[00:00:31] But breezes aren't the only things that blow

[00:00:34] In El Salvador

[00:00:38] If you took the little lady for a moonlight drive

[00:00:42] Odds are still good you'd come back alive

[00:00:45] But everyone is innocent until they arrive

[00:00:49] In El Salvador

[00:00:53] If the rebels take a bus on the grand highway

[00:00:57] The government destroys a village miles away

[00:01:00] The man on the radio says

[00:01:02] Now we'll play

[00:01:03] South of the borde

[00:01:08] And in the morning the natives say

[00:01:12] We're happy you have lived another day

[00:01:15] Last night a thousand more passed away

[00:01:18] In El Salvador

[00:01:30] There's a television crew here from ABC

[00:01:34] Filming Rio Lempe and the refugees

[00:01:37] Calling murdered children the tragedy

[00:01:41] Of El Salvador

[00:01:44] Before the government camera 20 feet away

[00:01:49] Another man is asking for continued aid

[00:01:52] Food and medicine and hand grenades

[00:01:56] For El Salvador

[00:01:59] There's a thump a rumble and the buildings sway

[00:02:04] A soldier fires the acid spray

[00:02:07] The public address system starts to play

[00:02:10] South of the Border

[00:02:15] You run for cover and hide your eyes

[00:02:18] You hear the screams from paradise

[00:02:22] They've fallen further than you realize

[00:02:25] In El Salvador

[00:02:42] Just like Poland is protected by her Russian friends

[00:02:47] The junta is assisted by Americans

[00:02:50] And if 60 million dollars seems too much to spend

[00:02:54] In El Salvador

[00:02:57] They say for half a billion they could do it right

[00:03:02] Bomb all day and burn all night

[00:03:06] Until there's not a living thing upright

[00:03:09] In El Salvador

[00:03:13] And they'll continue training troops in the USA

[00:03:17] And watch the nuns that got away

[00:03:21] And teach the military bands to play

[00:03:24] South of the Border

[00:03:29] Killed the people to set them free

[00:03:32] Who put this price on their liberty

[00:03:36] Don't you think it's time to leave

[00:03:38] El Salvador
