Текст песни
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Солдаты с неба,
Бесстрашные люди, которые прыгают и умирают
Люди, которые имеют в виду именно то, что говорят
Храбрые люди зелёного берета
припев
Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
На их груди — серебряные «крылышки»
Вот они, лучшие [солдаты] Америки
Сто человек пройдут сегодня испытание
Но лишь трое получат зелёный берет
2-й куплет
Trained to live off nature’s land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage taken from the Green Beret
Обученные жить за счёт природы
Обученные вести бой врукопашную
Люди, сражающиеся и днём, и ночью
Отвага получена от зелёного берета
3-й куплет
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request
Put silver wings on my son’s chest
Make him one of America’s best
He’ll be a man they’ll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
Дома ждёт молодая жена
Её «зелёный берет» встретил свою судьбу
Он погиб ради угнетённых
Оставив ей свою последнюю волю:
Прицепи серебряные «крылышки» на грудь моему сыну
Сделай его одним из лучших [солдат] Америки
Он будет тем, кого однажды испытают
И он получит зелёный берет
Перевод песни
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Soldiers from the sky,
Fearless people who jump and die
People who mean exactly what they say
Brave green beret
chorus
Silver wings upon their chests
These are men, America’s best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
On their chest - silver "wings"
Here they are, the best [soldiers] of America
One hundred people will pass the test today
But only three will get the green beret
2nd verse
Trained to live off nature’s land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage taken from the Green Beret
Trained to live by nature
Trained to hand to hand combat
People fighting day and night
Courage obtained from the green beret
3rd verse
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request
Put silver wings on my son’s chest
Make it one of America’s best
He’ll be one man they’ll test one day
Have him win the green beret
At home waiting for a young wife
Her "green beret" met his fate
He died for the oppressed
Leaving her her last will:
Trap silver "wings" on the chest to my son
Make him one of America’s best [soldiers]
He will be the one that one will experience
And he gets a green beret
