Good Bye

Good bye
Paroles et Musique: Jean-Jacques DEBOUT

Good bye disait à sa mère
Un jour un petit soldat
Qui s'en allait à la guerre
Aux Etats-Unis là-bas
Good bye, lui a dit son père,
Il faut mériter ton nom
Sudiste, tu dois faire la guerre
La guerre de Sécession
Good bye disait à sa belle
Un jour un petit soldat
Embrassant sa fille Adèle
Qu'il avait prise dans ses bras
Good bye ne soyez pas triste
Si jamais je ne reviens plus
Je suis fier d'être Nordiste
Et surtout ne pleurez plus
Ils sont venus pour se battre
Chacun de son côté
Et puis soudain face à face
Aucun des deux n'a tiré
Good bye a dit le Sudiste
A l'autre petit soldat
Good bye, a dit le Nordiste
Il vaut mieux rentrer chez toi
Il s'en revinrent de la guerre
Quelle joie dans leurs maisons
On ne tire pas sur son frère
Même pendant la Sécession
On ne tire pas sur son frère
Même pendant la Sécession

Good bye said to his mother
One day a little soldier
Who was going to war
Over in the United States
Good bye, his father told him,
You must live up to your name
Southerner, you must go to war
The war of Secession
Good bye said to his love
One day a little soldier
Kissing his daughter Adèle
Whom he had taken in his arms
Good bye don't be sad
If I never come back
I am proud to be a Northerner
And above all, don't cry anymore
They came to fight
Each on his own side
And then suddenly face to face
Neither of them fired
Good bye said the Southerner
To the other little soldier
Good bye, said the Northerner
You'd better go home
They returned from the war
What joy in their homes
You don't shoot your brother
Even during the Secession
You don't shoot your brother
Even during the Secession
Men are born and remain free and equal in rights.
