Farewell My Man

Farewell my man,
Where you are going, I will not go.
Where you are going, no one goes.
Where you go, it is too cold.
 
Farewell my man,
I kiss you one last time.
Remember my taste of apple,
of cherry and of lilac.
 
Farewell my man,
I must live without your arms
and in the arms of other men,
in the night, it's you that I see.
 
Farewell my man,
you see, I forget you already.
I forget your resonating voice.
You see? No, you don't see.
 
Farewell my man,
promise we will see each other again.
I am only waiting for the death knell's1 ringing,
just that it rings for me.
 
Farewell my man,
It's life and it's all me.
I accept what it gives me
and I take what it doesn't give me.
 
Farewell my man,
Where you are going, I will not go.
Where you are going, no one goes.
Where you go, it is too cold.
 
  • 1. A death knell is the ringing of a bell that signifies someone's death.
