Текст песни Bui Doi

[CHOIR]

They're called Bui-Doi

The Dust of life

Concieved in hell

And born is strife

They are the the living reminders

Of all the good we failed to do

We can't forget

Must not forget

That they are all

Our children too

[JOHN]

Like all survivors, I once thought

When I'm home I won't give a damn

But now I know I'm caught

I'll never leave Vietnam

War isn't over when it ends

Some pictures never leave you mind

They are the faces of the children

The ones we left behind

They're called Bui-Doi

The dust of life

Concieved in hell

And born in strife

They are the living reminders

Of all the good we failed to do

We can't forget

Must not forget

That they are all

Our children too

These kids hit walls on every side

They don't belong in any place

Their secret they can't hide

It's printed on their face

I never thought I'd plead

For half-breeds from a land that's torn

But then I saw a camp for children

Whose crime was being born

They're called Bui-Doi

The dust of life

Concieved in hell

And born in strife

We owe them fathers, and a family -

And loving home they never knew

Because we know

Deep in our hearts

That they are all

Our children too

These are souls in need

They need us to give

Someone has to pay

For their chance to life

Help me try

[JOHN] and [CHORUS]

They're called Bui-Doi

The dust of life

Concieved in hell

And born in strife

They are the living reminders

Of all the good we failed to do

That's why we know

Deep in our hearts

That they are all

Our children too

[CHRIS]

John, you were great. Can I see you alone

I gotta know what you meant on the phone

What is this news you recieved

You could only tell me

[JOHN]
Claude-Michel Schonberg - Bui Doi - http://ru.motolyrics.com/claude-michel-schonberg/bui-doi-lyrics.html
A lot of groups use my Bangkok staff

To process problems on their behalf

We got this in from the embassy

It's not easy to tell you; It's best that

You see

[CHRIS]

KIM! It's about Kim isn't it?

Only you know how hard I tried to

Get word

Tell me first, nothing els, tell me: Did

She survive?

[JOHN]

You must read the report, Chris

But yes, she's alive

[CHRIS]

You don't know, John, these nightmares

The things that I've seen

I have seen her face burned

See her shot with my gun

I have chased her through streets

And heared nothing but screams

What's wrong? Come on.

There's something more

[JOHN]

She has a child

You have a son

[CHRIS]

You won't believe me but I dreamed this

John

It's in the nightmare when I see Saigon

Jesus, John, I am married

Is this story for real?

[JOHN]

I'm only telling you what I recieved

But our reports can usually be believed

Kim's a bar-girl in Bangkok

Pal, I know how you feel

[CHRIS]

It's too late! I have a whole new life

I was in love with Kim, but now I have a

Wife

[JOHN]

Listen, Chris, I know the shock you've

Had

There are solutions here, it isn't always

Bad

[CHRIS]

Oh John, I never told her

My wife - how can I tell her?

A child - What do I do?

I shattered Kim - Now Ellen too

[CHRIS]

I have to tell her

[JOHN]

I have learned the best thing

For a couple to do

[CHRIS]

I have to tell her

[JOHN]

You should both come to Bangkok

I mean Ellen too

[CHRIS]

Us both?

[JOHN]

You BOTH should go

[ELLEN]

Hey guys, come on

[CHRIS]

But first...

First Ellen has to know
