Farewell
A. A. Owen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want to see you peeking through my window
I don't want to hear you call me on the phone
I don't want to hear you knocking on my door babe
Adiós, farewell, goodbye, good luck, so long.

Well you put me through my paces like a champion
Like a champion, I jumped through the hoop for you
But that's all over now, go find a brand new sucker
Congratulations dear, I've had the course with you
I don't want to see you peeking.

Well I guess I'll have to get an act of congress
To convince you that our love affair's all through
Every time you snap your fingers I come running
But that's all over now I'm sick and tired of you
I don't want to see you peeking.





Adios, farewell, goodbye, good luck, so long...

Si mañana te sientes solo, está bien
Te prometo princesita volveré
Por favor, deja de llorar
Se me va el avion
Cuando tú me extrañes
Pon nuestra canción
Aquella canción de amor
Que nos facina a los dos
La canción que nosotros siempre tocamos
Cuando hacemos el dulce amor
Me da pena lo siento tengo que irme
No me digas adiós
A veces en la vida no consigues lo que quieres
Me duele mucho tenerme que alejar
