Goodnight Saigon

Boa Noite Saigon

We met as soul mates We met as soul mates Nós juntamo-nos como companheiros On Parris Islands On Parris Islands Na ilha de Parris We left as inmates We left as inmates Saímos como prisioneiros From an asylum From an asylum De um asilo And we were sharp And we were sharp E nós estávamos prontos As sharp as knives As sharp as knives Afiados quanto facas And we were so gung ho And we were so gung ho E estávamos desejosos To lay down our lives To lay down our lives Para dar as nossas vidas We came in spastic We came in spastic Nós chegámos entusiasmados Like tameless horses Like tameless horses Como cavalos selvagens We left in plastic We left in plastic Saímos em plástico As numbered corpses As numbered corpses Em cadáveres numerados And we learned fast And we learned fast E nós aprendemos rápido To travel light To travel light A viajar leves Our arms were heavy Our arms were heavy Nossos braços eram pesados But our bellies were tight But our bellies were tight Mas nossas barrigas estavam apertadas We had no home front We had no home front Não tínhamos o apoio do País We had no soft soap We had no soft soap Não tínhamos sabonete líquido They sent us Playboy They sent us Playboy Eles enviaram playboys They gave us Bob Hope They gave us Bob Hope E deram-nos Bob Hope We dug in deep We dug in deep Nós cavávamos fundo And shot on sight And shot on sight E atirávamos à vista And prayed to Jesus Christ And prayed to Jesus Christ E rezávamos a Jesus Cristo With all of our might With all of our might Com todo o fervor We had no cameras We had no cameras Não tínhamos câmeras To shoot the landscape To shoot the landscape Para filmar a paisagem We passed the hash pipe We passed the hash pipe Nós passávamos o cachimbo de erva And played our Doors tapes And played our Doors tapes E ouvíamos as cassetes dos Doors And it was dark And it was dark E era escuro So dark at night So dark at night Tão escuro à noite And we held on to each other And we held on to each other E nós apoiámo-nos entre nós Like brother to brother Like brother to brother Como irmãos We promised our mothers we'd write We promised our mothers we'd write E prometemos às nossas mães que escrevíamos And we would all go down together And we would all go down together E nós todos cairíamos juntos We said we's all go down together We said we's all go down together Nós dissemos que todos nós cairíamos juntos Yes we would all go down together Yes we would all go down together Sim nós todos cairíamos juntos Remember Charlie Remember Charlie Lembram-se do Charlie Remember Baker Remember Baker Lembram-se do Baker They left their childhood They left their childhood Perderam a sua infância On every acre On every acre Em cada acre And who was wrong? And who was wrong? Quem estava errado? And who was right? And who was right? Quem estava certo? It didn't matter in the thick It didn't matter in the thick Não importava no calor Of the fight Of the fight Da luta We held the day We held the day Nós tínhamos o dia In the palm In the palm Na palma Of our hand Of our hand De nossa mão They ruled the night They ruled the night Eles dominavam a noite And the night And the night E a noite Seemed to last as long as Seemed to last as long as Parecia durar tanto quanto Six weeks on Parris Islands Six weeks on Parris Islands Seis semanas na ilha de Parris We held the coastline We held the coastline Nós dominávamos a costa They held the highlands They held the highlands Eles dominavam as montanhas And they were sharp And they were sharp E eles estavam prontos As sharp as knives As sharp as knives Afiados quanto facas They heard the hum of our motors They heard the hum of our motors Ouviam o rugir dos nossos motores They counted the rotors They counted the rotors Contavam as rotações And waited for us to arrive And waited for us to arrive E esperavam a nossa chegada And we would all go down together And we would all go down together E nós todos cairíamos juntos We said we'd all go down together We said we'd all go down together Nós dissemos que todos nós cairíamos juntos Yes we would all go down together Yes we would all go down together Sim nós todos cairíamos juntos
