Billy Joel - Leningrad
Victor was born
The spring of 44
and never saw
His father anymore
The child of sacrifice
child of war
Another son who never had
A father after Leningrad
Went off to school
and learned to serve his state
follow the rules
and drank his vodka straight
the only way to live
was drown the hate
the russian life was very sad
and such was life in leningrad
I was born in 49
A cold war kid in the McCarthy times
Stop 'em at the 38th parallel
blast those yellow reds to hell
cold war kids were hard to kill
under their desks in an air raid drill
haven't they heard we won the war
what do they keep on fighting for?
Billy Joel - Leningrad - http://motolyrics.com/billy-joel/leningrad-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
Victor was sent
to some red army town
served out his time
became a circus clown
the greastest happiness
he'd ever found
was making russian children glad
when children lived in leningrad.
The children lived in Levittown
hid in the shelters underground
Til the soviets turned their ships around
torn the cuban missiles down
and in that bright October sun
we knew our childhood days were done
I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?
So my child and I came to this place
to meet him , eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh
Then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had
Until we came to Leningrad.
Billy Joel - Leningrad (Spanish translation)
Viktor nacio en la primavera del '44
Y nunca mas vio a su padre
Un ni~no de sacrifico, un ni~no de la guerra
Otro hijo que nunca tenia
Otro padre despues de Leningrad
Se fue al colegio y aprendio a servir al estado
Seguia las reglas y bebia su vodka todo recto
La unica manera de vivir era hundir el odio
Una vida rusa era muy triste
Y asi era la vida en Leningrad
Yo naci en '49
Un ni~no de la guerra fria bajo el gobierno de McCarthy
Paralos en la paralela 38
Bombardea a esos rojos amarillos al infierno
Y ni~nos de la guerra fria son dificiles de matar
Bajo sus escritorios durante el ejercicio de ataque aerea
No han escuchado que nosotros habiamos ganado
Para que siguen luchando?
Enviaron a Viktor a alguna ciudad de la armada rojaBilly Joel - Leningrad - http://motolyrics.com/billy-joel/leningrad-lyrics-spanish-translation.html
El servio su tiempo y se hizo payaso del circo
La felicidad mas grande que encontraba
Era hacer feliz a los ni~nos rusos
Y a los ni~nos que vivian en Leningrad
Pero tambien vivian ni~nos en Levitown
Y se escondieron en los refugios subterraneos
Hasta que los sovietos giraron sus barcos
Y bajaron sus cohetes cubanos
Y en este sol de Octubre
Supimos que nuestros dias de ni~nez se han acabado
Y mire a mis amigos yendose a la guerra
Para que siguen luchando?
Y asi mi hija y yo venimos a aquel sitio
Para encontrale ojo en ojo y cara en cara
Hizo a mi hija reirse, despues nos abrazamos
Nunca sabiamos que amigos teniamos
Hasta que venimos a Leningrad
