paroles de chanson Au Revoir - Maurice Chevalier

In my French suburb,
When I was just a kid,
I dreamt to be on the stage.
Now, I can't believe, standing in front of you,
That my great big dream came true!

But now it's time to say
Au revoir,
With a smile of hope, yes,
Au revoir,
The hope that the next time,
We all could meet again,
Even if I'm out of this game,
And at the end of my poem

But who can predict?
Who can forsee?
First, I've got something to say, you see
Thank you for the long ride,
Thank you for the great nights!
I wrote for you this serenade,
Au revoir!

In the great international public
You will find people who have followed your whole career faithfully,
Affectionately, without ever asking to meet you
Without even writing to you
Simply because it might have happened,
One evening, between the stage and the audience
The mysterious contact of the heart

To them all, I will say,
Au revoir,
With a smile of hope, yes,
Au revoir,
Public, my own emblem
Public, my great mirror

It's been a long, long love affair
Is it goodbye, or when?
Or where?
Who knows?
But I'd rather declare:
Au revoir!
