Billy

Billy era un amigo míoBilly was a friend of mine
Crecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueveWe grew up together ever since we were nine
Íbamos a la escuela, él era mi mejor amigoWe went to school, he was my best friend
Pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaríaI thought our friendship would never end

Luego dejamos la escuela y nos fuimos a la universidadThen we left school and went up to college
Él estudió medicina y yo estudié botánicaHe studied medicine and I studied foliage
Él hacía touchdowns, mientras yo jugaba billarHe made touch-downs, while I played pool
Nadie sabía quién de los dos era el tontoNobody ever knew which one of us was a fool

Luego estalló la guerra y él tuvo que irseThen war broke out and he had to go
Pero yo no, estaba mentalmente incapacitadoBut not me, I was mentally unfit
O eso decían, así que, así queOr so they said, so, so
Cuando regresó, no era el mismo de antesWhen he came back, he wasn't quite the same at all
No era el chico que conocíaHe wasn't the guy I knew
Era como hablar con una paredIt was like talking to a wall
Sí-sí-sí-síYeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Billy era un amigo míoBilly was a friend of mine
Crecimos juntos desde que teníamos nueveGrew up together ever since we were nine

Siempre pensé que nuestra amistad nunca terminaríaAlways thought our friendship would never end
