Sayonara Saigon Lyrics

Got her song
In my head
I can taste
The colour red
Oh Beth
You've been gone
It's warm here in Saigon

Oh your brothers
Tell your sisters
And our mothers
And our dead fathers
Though in war, we are lovers
We kill for our dead fathers

It is wrong, what they do
So we changed their colour to blue
Shed their blood, red and warm
Summer in Saigon

Oh my god, won't you please
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

Many cried
In the west
For the brothers
Left back in the East
Oh darling
Please take me home

In the arms of a man
I miss my wife, she understands
I'm dying lonesome

Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

Got her song
In my head
I can taste
The colour red
Oh Beth
Now you've been gone
It is warm here in Saigon

Remember me
I fought for you
And your freedom
Now what do you do
Geez, Louise
My little one
I will never have your song

But it ain't right
The things they do
So we changed
Their colour to blue
Shed their blood, red and warm
Summer in Saigon

Oh my god, won't you please
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

What's Life Without Losers

Got her song
In my head
I can taste
The colour red
Oh Beth
You've been gone
It's warm here in Saigon

Oh your brothers
Tell your sisters
And our mothers
And our dead fathers
Though in war, we are lovers
We kill for our dead fathers

It is wrong, what they do
So we changed their colour to blue
Shed their blood, red and warm
Summer in Saigon

Oh my god, won't you please
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

Many cried
In the west
For the brothers
Left back in the East
Oh darling
Please take me home

In the arms of a man
I miss my wife, she understands
I'm dying lonesome

Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

Got her song
In my head
I can taste
The colour red
Oh Beth
Now you've been gone
It is warm here in Saigon

Remember me
I fought for you
And your freedom
Now what do you do
Geez, Louise
My little one
I will never have your song

But it ain't right
The things they do
So we changed
Their colour to blue
Shed their blood, red and warm
Summer in Saigon

Oh my god, won't you please
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone
Sayonara Saigon
So long, everyone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
