Lyrics and translation Ronnie Hawkins - Fare Thee Well

Fare Thee Well

I remember one morning
It was drizzling rain
And in my body was aching in pain

Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

If I had listened to what my momma said
I'd be at home, in my mother's bed

Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

If I had wings, like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river, to the one I love

Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well

One of these days, and it won't be long
You gonna look for me child
And I'll be gone

Fare thee well, oh honey
Fare thee well (fare thee well)

Adieu mon amour

Je me souviens d'un matin
Il pleuvait à verse
Et mon corps était en proie à la douleur

Adieu mon amour, oh ma chérie
Adieu

Si j'avais écouté ma mère
Je serais à la maison, dans son lit

Adieu mon amour, oh ma chérie
Adieu

Si j'avais des ailes, comme la colombe de Noé
Je volerais en amont de la rivière, vers celle que j'aime

Adieu mon amour, oh ma chérie
Adieu

Un de ces jours, et ce ne sera pas long
Tu vas me chercher, mon enfant
Et je serai parti

Adieu mon amour, oh ma chérie
Adieu (adieu)
