Brel Jacques - Le Moribond lyrics
rate meLE MORIBOND<br />
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.<br />
We've known each other since we were nine or ten.<br />
Together we've climbed hills and trees,<br />
Learned of love and ABC's,<br />
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.<br />
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die<br />
When all the birds are singing in the sky,<br />
Now that the spring is in the air,<br />
Pretty girls are everywhere.<br />
Think if me and I'll be there.<br />
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun<br />
but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.<br />
Goodbye, papa, please pray for me.<br />
I was the black sheep of the family.<br />
You tried to teach me right from wrong.<br />
Too much wine and too much song,<br />
Wonder how I got along.<br />
Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die<br />
When all the birds are singing in the sky,<br />
Now that the spring is in the air,<br />
Little children everywhere,<br />
When you'll see them I'll be there.<br />
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun<br />
but the wine and the songs like the seasons have all gone.<br />
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,<br />
You gave me love and helped me find the sun<br />
And every time that I was down<br />
You would always come around<br />
And get my feet back on the ground.<br />
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die<br />
When all the birds are singing in the sky,<br />
Now that the spring is in the air<br />
With the flowers everywhere.<br />
I wish that we could both be there.<br />
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun<br />
but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.<br />
