Claude-Michel Schönberg
The Ceremony (Dju Vui Vai)
[GIRLS]
One of us girls is moving on
One girl will get out of Saigon
[GIGI]
So now who's really Miss Saigon?
[GIRLS]
TV and stereo she gets
And Elvis Presley on cassettes
Look how he bought her a new dress
You did a job on him, I guess
[KIM]
He simply asked me
I said, "Yes"
[GIRLS]
Come on, let's bless the new princess
[GIRLS & KIM]
Dju vui vay (Dju vui vay)
Yu doi my (Yu doi my)
Dju vui vay (Dju vui vay)
Vao nyay moy
[KIM]
Will you who gave me life smile today?
Look with favoring eyes on this man
Show your daughter's heart your forgiveness
And send to us
From your home above
Your blessing on our love
[GIRLS & KIM]
Dju vui vay (Dju vui vay)
Yu doi my (Yu doi my)
Dju vui vay (Dju vui vay)
Vao nyay moy
[GIRLS, CHRIS & KIM]
Dju vui vay (It's pretty, but what does it mean?)
Yu doi my (It's what all the girls sing at weddings)
Dju vui vay (They didn't know what else to sing)
Vao nyay moy (It's the prettiest thing I've ever heard)
[GIGI, spoken]
Shh, shh, shh
To Miss Saigon!
[GIRLS, spoken]
Miss Saigon!
