Billy Don't Be A Hero (Paper Lace)(original) |
The marchin' band came down along main street |
The soldier blues fell in behind |
I looked across and there I saw Billy |
Waiting to go and join the line |
And with her head upon his shoulder |
His young and lovely fiancee |
From where i stood i saw she was cryin' |
And through her tears I heard her say |
Billy, don’t be a hero, don’t be a fool with your life |
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and make me your wife |
And as he started to go, |
She said Billy keep your head low |
Billy, don’t be hero, come back to me. |
The soldier blues were trapped on a hillside |
The battle raging all around |
The sergeant cried, We’ve got to hang on boys!" |
We’ve got to hold this piece of ground |
I need a volunteer to ride up, |
And bring us back some extra men, |
And Billy’s hand was up in a moment |
Forgettin' all the words she said |
She said |
Billy, don’t be a hero, don’t be a fool with your life |
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back and make me your wife |
And as he started to go, |
She said Billy keep your head low |
Billy, don’t be a hero, come back to me. |
I heard his fiancee got a letter |
That told how Billy died that day |
The letter said that he was a hero |
She should be proud he died that way |
I heard she threw that letter away… |
(traducción) |
La banda de música bajó por la calle principal |
El blues del soldado cayó detrás |
Miré al otro lado y allí vi a Billy |
Esperando para ir y unirte a la fila |
Y con la cabeza sobre su hombro |
Su prometida joven y encantadora. |
Desde donde yo estaba, vi que estaba llorando |
Y a través de sus lágrimas la escuché decir |
Billy, no seas un héroe, no seas un tonto con tu vida |
Billy, no seas un héroe, vuelve y hazme tu esposa |
Y cuando comenzaba a irse, |
Ella dijo que Billy mantuviera la cabeza baja |
Billy, no seas héroe, vuelve a mí. |
Los soldados azules quedaron atrapados en una ladera |
La batalla ruge por todos lados |
El sargento gritó: ¡Tenemos que aguantar, muchachos! |
Tenemos que mantener este pedazo de tierra |
Necesito un voluntario para montar, |
Y tráenos algunos hombres extra, |
Y la mano de Billy se levantó en un momento |
Olvidando todas las palabras que dijo |
Ella dijo |
Billy, no seas un héroe, no seas un tonto con tu vida |
Billy, no seas un héroe, vuelve y hazme tu esposa |
Y cuando comenzaba a irse, |
Ella dijo que Billy mantuviera la cabeza baja |
Billy, no seas un héroe, vuelve a mí. |
Escuché que su prometida recibió una carta |
Eso contó cómo murió Billy ese día. |
La carta decía que era un héroe |
Ella debería estar orgullosa de que él muriera de esa manera. |
Escuché que tiró esa carta... |
