La Sécheresse du Mékong [English translation]

Left to explore

A virgin forest

The unknown region

Of Kao-Bang rice fields

Riddled with ferocious wild beasts

And cannibals

During the Mekong drought

They remained isolated from the world for ten days

During the Mekong drought

Suddenly there is an ambush

By the savages

Brutes without faith nor law

Who imprisoned them

In wooden cages

The gloomy prison

During the Mekong drought

They remained isolated from the world for ten days

During the Mekong drought

Stopover in Saigon

Valiant men

Left to free them

From the cannibals

In a bloody battle

Rescued them
