Goodbye
Franck Pourcel and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But what care I?
Such pride inside me has woken,
I'll try my best not to cry,
By and by,
When the final farewells must be spoken.
I'll join the Legion,
That's what I'll do.
Where human hearts are staunch and true,
I shall start my life anew.
Good-bye, it's time
I sought a foreign clime,
Where I may find
there are hearts more kind
Than I leave behind.
And so, I go,
To fight a savage foe,
Although I know that
I'll be sometimes missed by the girls I've kissed.
In some Abyssinian French Dominion
I shall do my bit,
And fall for the flag if I must.
Where the desert sand is nice and handy,
I'll be full of grit
You won't see my heels for the dust.
I'll do or die
You'll know the reason why
When told of bold Leopold's last stand
For the Fatherland.
Good-bye, it's time,
I sought a foreign clime,
Where I may find
There are hearts more kind
Than I leave behind.
And so, I go
To fight a savage foe,
Although I know that
I'll be sometimes misses by the girls I've kissed.
In some Abyssinian French Dominion
I shall do my bit,
And fall for the flag if I must.
Where the desert sand is nice and handy,
I'll be full of grit
You won't see my heels for the dust.
I'll do or die,
You'll know the reason why
When told of bold Leopold's last stand
For the Fatherland.
Good-bye. Good-bye
I wish you all a last Good-bye.
Good-bye. Good-bye.
I wish you all a last Good-bye.

My heart is broken
I am deeply hurt and sad
But what care I?
But I don't really care about the pain
Such pride inside me has woken
I feel a sense of pride
I'll try my best not to cry
I will make every effort to not cry
By and by
Eventually
When the final farewells must be spoken.
When it is time to say goodbye for good
I'll join the Legion
I will join the army
That's what I'll do.
I've made the decision to join
And in some far distant region,
In a place far away
Where human hearts are staunch and true,
Where people are loyal and honest
I shall start my life anew.
I will begin a new life
Good-bye, it's time
It's time to say goodbye
I sought a foreign clime,
I am leaving for a foreign land
Where I may find
Where I hope to find
there are hearts more kind
People who are more compassionate
Than I leave behind.
Than those I am leaving behind
And so, I go,
So, I am leaving
To fight a savage foe,
To fight against a brutal enemy
Although I know that
Even though I am aware
I'll be sometimes missed by the girls I've kissed.
Some women I've been with might miss me
In some Abyssinian French Dominion
In a French colony in Abyssinia
I shall do my bit,
I will do my part
And fall for the flag if I must.
I am willing to die for my country's flag
Where the desert sand is nice and handy,
In a desert where sand is abundant
I'll be full of grit
I will be determined and strong
You won't see my heels for the dust.
I will move so fast that you won't see the dust behind me
I'll do or die
I will either succeed or die trying
You'll know the reason why
You will understand why
When told of bold Leopold's last stand
When you hear about Leopold's courageous final battle
For the Fatherland.
For the country
Good-bye. Good-bye
Farewell. Farewell
I wish you all a last Good-bye.
My final farewell to you all
Good-bye. Good-bye.
Farewell. Farewell
I wish you all a last Good-bye.
My final farewell to you all
