(Reprise en anglais de Adieu l'Émile de Jacques Brel)
Adieu Émile my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Dear Émile it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
Dear Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
I wonder how I got along
Dear Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
Dear Françoise my trusted wife
Without you I'd have had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times but then
I forgave you in the end
Ha though your lover was my friend
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
All our lives, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills we used to climb
Were just seasons out of time
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
