Billy

Billy era un buen amigo mío
Billy was a good friend of mine
Crecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueve años
We grew up together ever since we were nine
Fuimos a la escuela, él era mi mejor amigo
We went to school, he was my best friend
Y pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaría
And i thought our friendship would never end

En la escuela secundaria jugó al fútbol
In highschool he played football
Y yo, yo no hice nada en absoluto
And me, i didn't do anything at all
Él hizo toques, mientras yo jugaba al billar
He made touch-downs, while i played pool
Y nadie podía averiguar, ¿cuál de nosotros era el tonto?
And no one could figure out, which one of us was the fool

Entonces ambos fuimos al collage
Then we both went to collage
Estudió medicina, mientras que yo estudié foilage
He studied medicine, while i studied foilage
Él tiene «A», y yo tengo «D
He got "a's", and i got "d's"
Iba a por su policía
He was going for his p.h.d.
Entonces decidí dejarlo
Then i decided to drop out
Las cosas se estaban calentando un poco
Things were getting a little to hot

Billy se quedó allí, se convirtió en pasante, luego en médico
Billy stayed there, became an intern, then a doctor
Luego estalló la guerra y tuvo que irse
Then war broke out and he had to go
Pero yo no, yo estaba mentalmente incapacitado o eso dicen, así que
But not me, i was mentally unfit or so they say, so, so

Cuando volvió, no era el mismo
When he came back, he wasn't quite the same
Le dispararon los nervios, pero yo no
His nerves were shot, but not me
La última vez que lo vi, no podía soportarlo más
Last time i saw him, i couldn't take it anymore
No era el billy que conocía, era como hablar con una puerta
He wasn't the billy i knew, it was like talking to a door

Billy era amigo mío
Billy was a friend of mine
Crecí con él desde que teníamos nueve años
I grew up with him ever since we were nine
Fuimos juntos a la escuela
We went together to school
Y ahora a menudo me pregunto, ¿cuál de nosotros era el tonto?
And now i often wonder, which one of us was the fool
