Lyrics So Long, Farewell - Laibach

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 coo-coo
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 coo.
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and miss this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu, to you and you and you
So long, farewell, au revoir
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and miss this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too (goodby)
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
Coo-coo (coo-coo)
Coo-coo
I'm glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly
The sun, has gone
And so must I
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
