Billy

Billy was a good friend of mineBilly era un buen amigo mío

We grew up together ever since we were nineCrecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueve años

We went to school, he was my best friendFuimos a la escuela, él era mi mejor amigo

And i thought our friendship would never endY pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaría

In highschool he played footballEn la escuela secundaria jugó al fútbol

And me, i didn't do anything at allY yo, yo no hice nada en absoluto

He made touch-downs, while i played poolÉl hizo toques, mientras yo jugaba al billar

And no one could figure out, which one of us was the foolY nadie podía averiguar, ¿cuál de nosotros era el tonto?

Then we both went to collageEntonces ambos fuimos al collage

He studied medicine, while i studied foilageEstudió medicina, mientras que yo estudié foilage

He got "a's", and i got "d's"Él tiene «A», y yo tengo «D

He was going for his p.h.d.Iba a por su policía

Then i decided to drop outEntonces decidí dejarlo

Things were getting a little to hotLas cosas se estaban calentando un poco

Billy stayed there, became an intern, then a doctorBilly se quedó allí, se convirtió en pasante, luego en médico

Then war broke out and he had to goLuego estalló la guerra y tuvo que irse

But not me, i was mentally unfit or so they say, so, soPero yo no, yo estaba mentalmente incapacitado o eso dicen, así que

When he came back, he wasn't quite the sameCuando volvió, no era el mismo

His nerves were shot, but not meLe dispararon los nervios, pero yo no

Last time i saw him, i couldn't take it anymoreLa última vez que lo vi, no podía soportarlo más

He wasn't the billy i knew, it was like talking to a doorNo era el billy que conocía, era como hablar con una puerta

Billy was a friend of mineBilly era amigo mío

I grew up with him ever since we were nineCrecí con él desde que teníamos nueve años

We went together to schoolFuimos juntos a la escuela

And now i often wonder, which one of us was the foolY ahora a menudo me pregunto, ¿cuál de nosotros era el tonto?
