Goodbye Emile I liked you very much
Goodbye Emile I liked you very much you know
We have sung about the same wine
We have sung of the same women
We have sung about the same miseries
Goodbye Emile I am going to die
It's hard to die in the springtime you know
But I leave the flowers and peace in my soul
And because I know you're as good as white bread
I know that you'll take care of my wife
Chorus:
I want them to laugh, I want them to dance
I want them to have fun like crazy people
I want them to laugh I want them to dance
when they put me in the hole
Goodbye priest I liked you very much
Goodbye priest I liked you very well you know
We did not always agree about views and we weren't on the same path
But we were searching for the same port
Goodbye priest I'm going to die
It's hard to die in the spring you know
I leave the flowers and the beauty, peace in my soul
And knowing that you are her confidante
I know that you will take care of my wife
Goodbye Antoine I didn't like you very much
Goodbye Antoine I didn't like you very much you know
And it’s killing me to die today knowing that you are still so alive
And yet still as solid as boredom
Goodbye Antoine I’m going to die
It’s hard to die in the spring you know
I leave the flowers and the beautiful peace in my soul
And because I know that you were her lover
I know that you will take care of my wife
Chorus
Goodbye my wife I love you very much
Goodbye my wife I love you very much you know
I must take the train for the good Lord
I’m taking the train that leaves before yours
But we all must take the trains that we can
Goodbye my wife I’m going to die
It is hard to die in the springtime you know
But I’m leaving the flowers and my eyes are shut, my wife
And because I realize that they were shut often
I know that you will take care of my soul
Chorus
