El Salvador (萨尔瓦多) - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗和玛丽)[00:00:00]

Written by：Stookey Noel Paul/Wallis Jim[00:00:11]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:00:34]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:00:49]

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

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

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

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

South of the borde[00:01:03]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:01:18]

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

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

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

Of El Salvador[00:01:41]

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

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

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

For El Salvador[00:01:56]

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

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

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

South of the Border[00:02:10]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:02:25]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:02:54]

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

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

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

In El Salvador[00:03:09]

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

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

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

South of the Border[00:03:24]

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

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

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

El Salvador[00:03:38]
