Filmed in 1984 during the Echo and the Bunnymen documentary 'Play at Home'... Zuy later was an occasional member of The KLF playing horns on some tracks (most notably: 3 A.M Eternal & Make it Rain) appearing in music videos and Top of the Pops with the band. The video also features a brief cameo by Bunnymen manager Bill at the counter chatting and laughing with Brian (ex-boxer and cafe owner) While Zuy sings this traditional Vietnamese song.[English Translation of the lyrics/folk story]
A mother sits on a slow swinging hammock
She is singing her baby to sleep
She wishes for the rain to fall
From the clouds floating by
The rain would water the rice crops and make them sprout
Sadly she reflects on the state of her country
In her heart is sorrow
For her country is being destroyed
Everyday she sings to her child
Everyday her child is growing older
She feels her child has a sad future
Uncertain, like a river that is flowing to the vast unknown sea
Her voice, a high wave of sound
Is carried by the air
It shrouds the heart of those that hear it
This lullaby is the first lesson my baby shall have
Teaching with the language of his country
One day he will grow up and leave me
He will leave me to join in the fight
Against those who destroy our country
She sits like a sad statue
She wonders about her destiny
And the destruction of her country
Her baby is tender and innocent
Why should he have to grow up
In a world of conflict
A world in which he can never be free
