Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ka betyr adieu
Eg er bare trist
Noe som sårar deg
Tro meg
Vi skal ta adieu
Ikkje sånn som sist
Eg vil alltid huske deg
Som en vænn
Om vi aldri mere
Ses igjæn
Vi har våre minnar
De vil aldri dø
No e tiden inne
Til å si adieu
Si meg
Ka betyr adieu
Kan det ha verdi
Om alt e forbi
Tro meg
Vi skal ta adieu
Vise vår kjærlighet
Om vi skilles helt
Eg vil alltid huske deg
Som en vænn
Om vi aldri mere
Ses igjæn
Vi har våre minnar
De vil aldri dø
Og no er tiden inne
Til å si adieu
