Сложный для понимания и перевод термин "Charlie" объяснён в комменте.
Остальное несложно перевести.
Sergeant Hagrid kicked the door, draft in his hand
Said, "You're a G.I., Harry, do you understand?"
No wand in his kit, just an M16,
With orders to find Voldemort deep in the green.
Ron's waiting in the gunboat, staring at the shore,
Thinking of Hogwarts he'll see no more,
Hermione in costume, signing through the noise,
A fever-dream flown in to calm the boys.
No magic in the jungle,
Just shadows and smoke,
The heat's curse, the gunshots choke.
Out here in 'Nam, where men loose their minds
Harry's hunting a ghost through the vines.
Dumbledore with the sun in his hair,
Loves the smell of napalm in the morning air.
He turns to Longbottom, voice worn and dry,
"Take the broomstick, Charlie* don't fly".
Snape watching Harry as the treelines burn,
Saying, "Hope is a habbit you will soon unlearn."
Back on the river with nowhere to run,
Harry and the darkness becoming one.
No magic in the jungle,
Just shadows and smoke,
The heat's curse, the gunshots choke.
Out here in 'Nam, where men loose their minds
Harry's hunting a ghost through the vines.
The boat drifts past outposts rotting in rain,
Nothing ahead but the echo of pain
The whispers say Colonel Voldemort's gone insane,
Deep in Cambodia he carved his domain.
"Scared, Potter?" Malfoy's asking half-dead,
As bullets stitch the air overhead.
The jungles takes what made you care,
Harry's got a thousand-yard stare.
They say no war ever really ends,
It just waits for the next young men.
Harry found Voldemort, didn't say a word,
Two soldiers stared, till the shots were heard.
No magic in the jungle,
Just shadows and smoke,
The heat's curse, the gunshots choke.
Out here in 'Nam, where men loose their minds
Harry's hunting a ghost through the vines.
*American soldiers used "Charlie" as slang for enemy Vietnamese forces, specifically the Viet Cong (VC) during the Vietnam War. The term originated from the phonetic alphabet, where "VC" was spoken as "Victor Charlie" for radio communication, which was then shortened to just "Charlie"
