BILLY
Billy
Billy era un bo amigo meu
Crecemos xuntos desde que tiñamos nove anos
Fomos á escola, el era o meu mellor amigo
E pensei que a nosa amizade nunca acabaría
Crecemos xuntos desde que tiñamos nove anos
Fomos á escola, el era o meu mellor amigo
E pensei que a nosa amizade nunca acabaría
En secundaria xogaba ao fútbol
E eu, eu non fixen nada en absoluto
Facía ensaios mentres eu xogaba ao billar
E ninguén se podía figurar quen de nós era o tolo
E eu, eu non fixen nada en absoluto
Facía ensaios mentres eu xogaba ao billar
E ninguén se podía figurar quen de nós era o tolo
Logo, ambos fomos á universidade
Estudou medicina mentres eu estudaba fochicaxe
Conseguiu aprobados e eu suspensos
Ía polo doutoramento
Entón decidín abandonar
As cousas estábanse un tanto difíciles
Billy quedou alí, converteuse interno e logo en doutor
Entón estalou a guerra e tivo que ir
Pero eu non, eu estaba mentalmente incapacitado, ou iso dixeron

Entón estalou a guerra e tivo que ir
Pero eu non, eu estaba mentalmente incapacitado, ou iso dixeron
Cando volveu non era o mesmo
Os seus nervios estaban disparados pero eu non
A última vez que o vin non o puiden soportar
Non era o Billy que coñecín, era como falarlle a unha porta
Os seus nervios estaban disparados pero eu non
A última vez que o vin non o puiden soportar

Billy era un amigo meu
Crecín con el desde que tiña nove anos
Fomos xuntos ao instituto
E agora pregúntome quen de nós era o tolo

Billy was a good friend of mine
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
We grew up together ever since we were nine
We went to school, he was my best friend
And I thought our friendship would never end
In high school he played football
And me, I didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool
And me, I didn't do anything at all
He made touch-downs, while I played pool
And no one could figure out which one of us was the fool
Then we both went to collage
He studied medicine while I studied foliage
He got A's and I got D's
He was going for his Ph.D.
Then I decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so
He studied medicine while I studied foliage
He got A's and I got D's
He was going for his Ph.D.
Then I decided to drop out
Things were getting a little too hot
Billy stayed there, became an intern and then a doctor
Then war broke out and he had to go
But not me, I was mentally unfit, or so they say, so, so
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
His nerves were shot, but not me
Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door
Last time I saw him, I couldn't take it anymore
He wasn't the Billy I knew, it was like talking to a door
Billy was a friend of mine
I grew up with him ever since I was nine
We went together through school
And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
I grew up with him ever since I was nine
We went together through school
And now I often wonder, which one of us was the fool
