Goodnight Saigon
Billy Joel
We met as soulmates
On Parris Island
We left as inmates
From an asylum
And we were sharp
As sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives
We came in spastic
Like tameless horses
We left in plastic
As numbered corpses
And we learned fast
To travel light
Our arms were heavy
But our bellies were tight
We had no homefront
We had no soft soap
They sent us playboy
They gave us bob hope
We dug in deep
And shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ
With all of our might
We had no cameras
To shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe
And played our Doors tapes
And it was dark
So dark at night
And we held onto each other
Like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Remember Charlie
Remember Baker
They left their childhood
On every acre
And who was wrong
And who was right
It didn't matter
In the thick of the fight
We, held the day
In the palm of our hands
They, ruled the night
And the night, seemed to last
As long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
They held the highland
And they were sharp
As sharp as knives
They heard the hum of the motors
They counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
We met as soulmates
Nós nos encontramos como almas gêmeas
On Parris Island
Na Ilha de Parris
We left as inmates
Nós saímos como internos
From an asylum
De um asilo
And we were sharp
E nós éramos afiados
As sharp as knives
Tão afiados quanto facas
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives
E estávamos tão dispostos a dar nossas vidas
We came in spastic
Chegamos espasmódicos
Like tameless horses
Como cavalos indomáveis
We left in plastic
Saímos em plástico
As numbered corpses
Como cadáveres numerados
And we learned fast
E aprendemos rápido
To travel light
A viajar leve
Our arms were heavy
Nossos braços estavam pesados
But our bellies were tight
Mas nossas barrigas estavam apertadas
We had no homefront
Não tínhamos frente de casa
We had no soft soap
Não tínhamos sabão suave
They sent us playboy
Eles nos enviaram playboy
They gave us bob hope
Eles nos deram bob hope
We dug in deep
Nós cavamos fundo
And shot on sight
E atiramos à vista
And prayed to Jesus Christ
E oramos a Jesus Cristo
With all of our might
Com toda a nossa força
We had no cameras
Não tínhamos câmeras
To shoot the landscape
Para fotografar a paisagem
We passed the hash pipe
Passamos o cachimbo de haxixe
And played our Doors tapes
E tocamos nossas fitas do Doors
And it was dark
E estava escuro
So dark at night
Tão escuro à noite
And we held onto each other
E nos agarramos um ao outro
Like brother to brother
Como irmão para irmão
We promised our mothers we'd write
Prometemos às nossas mães que escreveríamos
And we would all go down together
E todos nós iríamos juntos
We said we'd all go down together
Dissemos que todos iríamos juntos
Yes we would all go down together
Sim, todos nós iríamos juntos
Remember Charlie
Lembre-se de Charlie
Remember Baker
Lembre-se de Baker
They left their childhood
Eles deixaram sua infância
On every acre
Em cada acre
And who was wrong
E quem estava errado
And who was right
E quem estava certo
It didn't matter
Não importava
In the thick of the fight
No calor da luta
We, held the day
Nós, seguramos o dia
In the palm of our hands
Na palma de nossas mãos
They, ruled the night
Eles, governaram a noite

E a noite, parecia durar
As long as six weeks
Tanto quanto seis semanas
On Parris Island
Na Ilha de Parris

They counted the rotors
Eles contaram os rotores
And waited for us to arrive

Dissemos que todos iríamos juntos
Yes we would all go down together
Sim, todos nós iríamos juntos

We had no soft soap
No teníamos jabón suave
They sent us playboy

They gave us bob hope
Nos dieron a Bob Hope
We dug in deep
Nos enterramos profundo
And shot on sight
Y disparamos a la vista
And prayed to Jesus Christ
Y rezamos a Jesucristo
With all of our might
Con todas nuestras fuerzas
We had no cameras
No teníamos cámaras
To shoot the landscape
Para fotografiar el paisaje
We passed the hash pipe
Pasamos la pipa de hachís
And played our Doors tapes
Y tocamos nuestras cintas de Doors
And it was dark
Y estaba oscuro
So dark at night
Tan oscuro por la noche
And we held onto each other
Y nos aferramos el uno al otro
Like brother to brother
Como hermano a hermano
We promised our mothers we'd write
Prometimos a nuestras madres que escribiríamos
And we would all go down together
Y todos caeríamos juntos
