miss saigon - the fall of saigon lyrics
(kim overwhelmed at the prospect of finally being reunited with chris,
recalls the horrifying moments when they were seperated during the fall of saigon)
[an officer]
sorry, sergeant, we must accelerate
state department says we evacuate
the word is, we must be out
by dawn
[chris]
i have to get my girl!
[another officer]
sorry, sergent, it’s sraight from
washington
no one leaves the grounds now, not
anyone
a fast as we load the planes
we’re gone
[chris]
(but my girl is in there!)
(a huge crowd of vietnamese is pushing at the emb-ssy gates.)
[a marine captain]
(to the crowd)
okay! keep quiet! don’t shout!
the amb-ssador won’t leave till
everyone’s out
the choppers’re on there way there’s
room for you all
[another marine]
they’re climbing over the wall!
(get back!)
[more marines]
get back! tell you, don’t shout!
the amb-ssador won’t leave till
everyone’s out
[a marine]
(entering)
th’ amb-ssador just sent an order to
freeze
[the marine captain]
that’s it! no more vietnamese!
get in!
[chris]
but my girl’s out there!
(in the street outside the emb-sst, kim can’t get through the grounds)
[kim]
i’m the wife of a soldier
oh please let me through
help me, who must i pay?
tell me what i must do
[chris]
(to an officer)
let me out, i got to
go back for my bride
[kim]
listen someone! my husband
is waiting inside
[chris]
(telephoning, inside the emb-ssy yard)
please kim, hear the phone!
i can’t get there
please be home
[kim]
(in the street)
please chris, no one sees!
i am lost here
find me please!
[both]
please, get me through – i don’t care
how
don’t take my love away, not now!
[kim]
oh chris,
[chris]
oh kim,
[kim]
i can’t get free
[chris]
please get free
[kim] [chris]
still i’m with you i am with you
wait for wait for me
[the marine captain]
(to chris)
sorry sergent, inside the emb-ssy!
we are pulling out now and there will
be
no more reprives
[chris]
i got till the old man leaves
(chris is forced inside the eb-ssy, whose doors are then barricaded
the vietnamese are now yelling through the eb-ssy gates)
[one vietnamese]
take me with you!
take my children
[another]
i have a letter from…!
[another]
i helped the c.i.a.!
[crowd]
they’ll kill who they find here!
don’t leave us behind here!
[a vietnamese]
i’ve a wife who left already
[another]
i’ve an aunt in new york!
[another]
i have gold, i can pay!
[crowd]
there is no one to find here!
they have left us behind here!
(kim has pushed her way through the gate)
[kim]
i must get in there – listen, anyone!
please tell my husband…look, i have
his gun!
[a vietnamese]
out of my way, if that’s all you’ve
got
[crowd]
if i am here when they come, i’ll be shot!
(inside the compound: marines guard the roof
helipad)
[chris]
let me go john,
i can’t leave her
why in the world should i be saved
instead of her?
[crowd]
they’ll kill who they find here
don’t leave us behind here!
[john]
it’s not you
it’s war that’s cruel
and if some dreams get smashed
perhaps it’s best they were
[crowd] and [kim]
there is no one to find here!
they have left us behind here!
[john]
wake up, my friend
your mercy trip has failed
there’s nothing you can do,
that ship has sailed
she’s not the only one we’ll have
betrayed
[crowd]
get to the roof, or els we are betrayed!
(the crowd tries to vatter down the fences)
[kim]
(in the yard)
oh chris-
i still believe!
the heart of you
is here with me
my heart, against all odds,
holds still
(on the emb-ssy roof, the last helicopter lands,
chris runs up and down the wall, shouting for kim.
finally he is forced to board the helicopter
– which takes off. the nightmare p-sses – kim is in her little room with tam)
