| Text |
|
Please don't wake me up too late, tomorrow comes and I cannot be late.
Late today when it becomes tomorrow I will leave to go a-way. |
a |
| Goodbye (goodbye), goodbye (goodbye), Goodbye, goodbye, my love, goodbye. |
b |
Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now and linger on my mind.
Leave your flowers at my door,
I'll leave them for the one who waits behind. |
c |
Far away my lover sings a lonely song, and calls me to his side.
When a song of lonely love invites me on, I must go to his side. |
