So Long, Farewell 別了，再見

from The Sound of Music

本篇適合：

跟讀、跟唱

There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple too

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

Is popping out to say “cuckoo” (Cuckoo,cuckoo)

Regretfully they tell us (Cuckoo)

But firmly they compel us (Cuckoo)

To say goodbye… (Cuckoo)

To you

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you

So long, farewell, au revoir, auf Wiedersehen

I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen,goodbye

I leave and heave a sigh and say

goodbye—Goodbye!

I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone to bed and so must I So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen,goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye!
