Brel Jacques - Le Moribond lyrics

LE 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 />
