People Who Died (original)

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and just died
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD’d on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died
Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died
Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
«Hey,"Herbie said, «Tony, can you fly?»
But Tony couldn’t fly, Tony died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died
Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, «Hey, I know it’s dangerous, but it sure beats Riker’s»
But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died
Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine

So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD’d on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
I miss 'em -- they died.
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, they just died
Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
This song is for you, my brother.
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

(traducción)

Teddy esnifando pegamento, tenía 12 años
Cayó del techo en East Two-nine
Cathy tenía 11 años cuando desconectó
En 26 tintos y una botella de vino
Bobby tiene leucemia, 14 años
Parecía tener 65 años cuando murió.
el era un amigo mio
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Eran todos mis amigos, y acaban de morir.
G-berg y Georgie dejaron que sus trucos se pudrieran
Así que murieron de hepatitis en el alto Manhattan
Sly en Vietnam recibió una bala en la cabeza
Bobby tuvo una sobredosis de Drano la noche en que se casó
Eran dos amigos más míos
Dos amigos más que murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Eran todos mis amigos, y murieron
Mary se zambulló en seco desde una habitación de hotel
Bobby se colgó de una celda en las tumbas
Judy saltó frente a un tren subterráneo
Eddie se cortó la vena yugular
Y Eddie, te extraño más que a todos los demás
Y te saludo hermano
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Eran todos mis amigos, y murieron
Herbie empujó a Tony desde el techo del Boys' Club
Tony pensó que su rabia era solo una tontería.
Pero Herbie seguro le dio a Tony una prueba de perra
«Oye», dijo Herbie, «Tony, ¿puedes volar?»
Pero Tony no pudo volar, Tony murió.
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Eran todos mis amigos, y murieron
Brian fue arrestado en un narco rap
Venció el rap delatando a algunos ciclistas
Él dijo: "Oye, sé que es peligroso, pero seguro que supera al de Riker".
Pero al día siguiente lo atropellaron los mismos motociclistas
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Esas son personas que murieron, murieron
Eran todos mis amigos, y murieron
