Cover art for Le Moribond lyrics by Beirut

rough translation: Goodbye Émile I liked you a lot Goodbye Émile I liked you a lot you know We sang the same wines We sang the same girls We sang the same grief(s)

Goodbye Émile I'm going to die It's hard dieing in the spring, you know But I leave (at/to) the flowers peace in my soul Cause look/we saw that you are good like white bread I know you will take care of my girl/wife

I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance I wish we would have fun like crazies I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance When will they put me in the hole

Goodbye Curé I liked you a lot Goodbye Curé I liked you a lot you know We were not on the same side We were not on the same path But we searched for the same port

Goodbye Curé I'm going to die It's hard dieing in the spring, you know But I leave (at/to) the flowers peace in my soul Cause look/we saw that you are their confidant I know you will take care of my girl/wife

I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance I wish we would have fun like crazies I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance When will they put me in the hole

Goodbye Antoine I didn't like you a lot Adieu l'Antoine I didn't like you a lot you know I'm dieing to die today While you are well alive And even more solid than boredom

Goodbye l'Antoine I'm going to die It's hard dieing in the spring, you know But I leave (at/to) the flowers peace in my soul Cause look/we saw that you were his lover I know you will take care of my girl/wife

I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance I wish we would have fun like crazies I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance When will they put me in the hole

Goodbye my girl I liked you a lot Goodbye my girl I liked you a lot you know But I'm taking the train for the good lord I'm taking the train that is before yours But we all take the train that we can

Goodbye my girl I'm going to die It's hard dieing in the spring, you know But I leave (at/to) the flowers, eyes close my girl 'Cause you see I have them closed often I know you will take care of my soul

I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance I wish we would have fun like crazies I wish we would laugh I wish we would dance When will they put me in the hole
