This is a really beautiful song...

Btw, Bui Doi means "Dust of Life"...I think...

::~ Bui Doi ~::
OST : Miss Saigon

[CHOIR]
They're called Bui-Doi
The Dust of life
Concieved in hell
And born is strife
They are the the living reminders
Of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget
Must not forget
That they are all
Our children too

[JOHN]
Like all survivors, I once thought
When I'm home I won't give a damn
But now I know I'm caught
I'll never leave Vietnam
War isn't over when it ends
Some pictures never leave you mind
They are the faces of the children
The ones we left behind

They're called Bui-Doi
The dust of life
Concieved in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminders
Of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget
Must not forget
That they are all
Our children too

These kids hit walls on every side
They don't belong in any place
Their secret they can't hide
Its printed on their face
I never thought I'd plead
For half-breeds from a land that's torn
But then I saw a camp for children
Whose crime was being born

They're called Bui-Doi
The dust of life
Concieved in hell
And born in strife
We owe them fathers, and a family -
And loving home they never knew
Because we know
Deep in our hearts
That they are all
Our children too

These are souls in need
They need us to give
Someone has to pay
For their chance to life
Help me try

[JOHN] and [CHORUS]
They're called Bui-Doi
The dust of life
Concieved in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminders
Of all the good we failed to do
That's why we know
Deep in our hearts
That they are all
Our children too

Bui Doi (Not a very good recording) I'll try to get a better one soon...ahakz....the audio does not match up to the vid though... *sighs*






Trailer for Miss Saigon UK Tour 2005...not bad but Lea does it better...ahakz...and the Chris is plain creepy (to me anyways...) But there're more snippets of songs here.... :)





Miss Saigon segment in "Hey! Mr Producer!" with Lea as Kim!! This one is much better...ahakz! Plus the Chris is hot here...Lolz!





And here's "I Still Believe" also from Miss Saigon....I am starting to sound obsessed aren't I? :(



Another clip...this one from the Tony's!!! Glad she won the Best Actress-Musical award! WHEE!



Bui Doi refers to the children fathered by the GI's during the Vietnam War. Because of their Eurasian faces, they are the living reminders to the Vietnamese of the Vietnam War and are treated like dirt... and as the song says, they can't hide because of their obviously Eurasian faces.

God I wanna watch MISS SAIGON!!!!!!!!
*jumps up and down in frustration*
Why won't they put it on DvD like "Les Miserables" and "Cats"????? I so wanna watch the Lea Salonga version....
*sighs sadly*
