Comment te dire adieu
Bronski Beat and the Communards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je ne veux
Avoir de reflexes
Malheureux
Il faut que tu m' explique un peu mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Mon coeur de silex
Ton coeur de pyrex
Resiste au feu
Je suis bien perplexe
Je ne veux
Me resoudre aux adieus
Je sais bien qu'un ex
Amour n'as pas de chance ou si peu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adie
Tu a mis a l'index
Nos nuits blanches nos matins gris-bleu
Mais pour moi une explication voudrait mieux
Sous aucun pretexte
Je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux
Derriere un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu
Comment te dire adie
Comment Te Dire Adieu is a song that speaks to the difficulty of saying goodbye to someone you love. The lyrics emphasize the importance of communication, even in the face of heartbreak. The singer expresses that she does not want to have any negative reactions to the situation, but instead seeks understanding through conversation.
The song describes the conflicting emotions of two people in love. The line, "mon coeur de silex vite prend feu, ton coeur de pyrex résiste au feu" translates to "my heart of flint quickly catches fire, your heart of Pyrex resists fire." This illustrates the idea that both individuals are experiencing intense emotions, but are reacting differently to them.
Through this song, the singer affirms that communication is essential to a healthy relationship. The lines, "sous aucun pretexte, je ne veux devant toi surexposer mes yeux, derrière un kleenex je saurais mieux comment te dire adieu" affirm this idea. This translates to "under no pretext, do I want to over-expose my eyes to you, behind a Kleenex I would know better how to say goodbye to you."

I was a small town boy from Valencia when I discovered you playing on Brosnki Beats band. Thanks for so many great times and gave me the courage to fight for my rights, our rights as a gay man in a society in Spain that wasn’t ready for it. I met you a couple of times in my neighbourhood(I moved to London many years ago) riding your bicycle but I never have the guts to say hello. Anyway thank you for your music
