Lyrics Partida - Cesária Évora

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
When I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied
So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone, that's all
A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak and they'll set me free
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping, feel no more pain
And living, all are scarred
A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak and they'll set me free
So as you read this, know it my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile, smile when you think about me
My body's gone, that's all
A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, they'll set me free
A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak, they'll set me free
These are the last words
I'll ever speak and they'll set me free
