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
Nous nous sommes rencontrés en tant qu'âmes sœurs
On Parris Island
Sur l'île de Parris
We left as inmates
Nous sommes partis en tant que prisonniers
From an asylum
D'un asile
And we were sharp
Et nous étions affûtés
As sharp as knives
Aussi tranchants que des couteaux
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives
Et nous étions si enthousiastes à l'idée de donner nos vies
We came in spastic
Nous sommes arrivés en spasmes
Like tameless horses
Comme des chevaux indomptables
We left in plastic
Nous sommes partis en plastique
As numbered corpses
Comme des cadavres numérotés
And we learned fast
Et nous avons appris vite
To travel light
À voyager léger
Our arms were heavy
Nos bras étaient lourds
But our bellies were tight
Mais nos ventres étaient serrés
We had no homefront
Nous n'avions pas de front domestique
We had no soft soap
Nous n'avions pas de savon doux
They sent us playboy
Ils nous ont envoyé Playboy
They gave us bob hope
Ils nous ont donné Bob Hope
We dug in deep
Nous avons creusé profondément
And shot on sight
Et tiré à vue
And prayed to Jesus Christ
Et prié Jésus Christ
With all of our might
De toute notre force
We had no cameras
Nous n'avions pas de caméras
To shoot the landscape
Pour filmer le paysage
We passed the hash pipe
Nous avons passé le bang
And played our Doors tapes
Et joué nos cassettes des Doors
And it was dark
Et il faisait sombre
So dark at night
Si sombre la nuit
And we held onto each other
Et nous nous sommes accrochés l'un à l'autre
Like brother to brother
Comme frère à frère
We promised our mothers we'd write
Nous avons promis à nos mères que nous écririons
And we would all go down together
Et nous descendrions tous ensemble
We said we'd all go down together
Nous avons dit que nous descendrions tous ensemble
Yes we would all go down together
Oui, nous descendrions tous ensemble
Remember Charlie
Souviens-toi de Charlie
Remember Baker
Souviens-toi de Baker
They left their childhood
Ils ont laissé leur enfance
On every acre
Sur chaque acre
And who was wrong
Et qui avait tort
And who was right
Et qui avait raison
It didn't matter
Ça n'avait pas d'importance
In the thick of the fight
Au plus fort du combat
We, held the day
Nous, tenions le jour
In the palm of our hands
Dans la paume de nos mains
They, ruled the night
Ils, régnaient la nuit
And the night, seemed to last
Et la nuit, semblait durer
As long as six weeks
Aussi longtemps que six semaines
On Parris Island
Sur l'île de Parris
We held the coastline
Nous tenions la côte
They held the highland
Ils tenaient les hautes terres
And they were sharp

They counted the rotors
Ils comptaient les rotors
And waited for us to arrive
Et attendaient notre arrivée
And we would all go down together
Et nous descendrions tous ensemble
We said we'd all go down together
Nous avons dit que nous descendrions tous ensemble
Yes we would all go down together
Oui, nous descendrions tous ensemble
We met as soulmates
Nós nos encontramos como almas gêmeas
On Parris Island

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
