Youtube videos

1) west life version



2) Terry Jacks version



The story-

This song was originally sung by Terry Jacks, In 90s it was reproduced by westlife.

These lyrics were taken from the diary of Jacques Brel who was having cancer, he wrote this words when he was in the hospital dying with cancer.

So listen and read this song thinking about this story.

Finally
This song is dedicated to all the people who are suffering from the pain of cancer......
(they are like people who are living but also dying.....


And if u can make a donation to the on going hope cancer hospital project in Sri Lanka..

    I personally don't like westlife..
    (I don't like because they do the same song form old singers
    and without mentioning thir name! Like Uptown Girl by Billy Joel.. and this one!)
    Because of that I can't express my feelings freely
    even though the song has a good meaning

    Please forgive me my friend!:rolleyes:

    Nice work bro! Keep going.
    We can really see the thoughts ruining through the mind of this dying writer.
    How he wishes goodbye to the world, how he reminds about the past and saying goodbye to everyone he loved. Nice literature.

    actually I think we dont have to neglect this saying this been stolen by the original singer because this is really a nice song...I have to be thankful to Ravi malli for posting this kind of a soul touching song ....as I do feel westlife hassen done a injustice for the original singer either by changing all chords or the adding rap part or so on as our Sl artists do:P


    One reason for me to love this song is its hidden story..its so tragic the way writer saying goodbye to all of his relations and friends ..But he doesnt wanna go but he has to go...its so terrible to feel some thing like that...any how its a great song which nicely present the uncertainty of life ...we dont know when we happen to say good bye..but living we are dying is so hard to cope up with..but he nice bring that feeling in to his words....

    this part is so touching
    Goodbye papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song
    Wonder how I got along



    As I feel some time one of hardest pain I ve ever seen is for a mam or dad seeing his or her son or daughter dying...because its a untimely death..because its not what should happen...we have seen lot of mother and dads crying in sri lanka because of this bloody war....so i can imagine what kind of pain this song might have given to the true writers father....cant even imagine....

    finally this is life.....spending seasons under the sun learning abc s:(

    Gahuwa neda mata Mada paarak!:frown::lol:;):D

    Seosons in the sun!

    It's a really hard feeling to understand for us the position of a person
    who knows he's dying... It's a very hard to bear such a feeling...
    But the artist understands That he's not going to live for long...
    But the beauty is
    without getting worried, the person is happy about the time he spend on earth!
    And saing Good Bye to every one like he's trying to reduce their pain of his diparture
    Like Hiding the pain inside and smile:D to make other people happy!

    Actually this song was originally written in french by this dying french singer and song writer Jacques Brel.
    Its really touching. The name of the song is "Le moribond" in english translation - "The Dying Man"
    He saying this to his wife. His songs english translation goes like this.

    Good-bye, my wife, I loved you well
    Good-bye, my wife, I loved you well, you know,
    But I'm taking the train for the Good Lord,
    I'm taking the train before yours
    But you take whatever train you can;
    Goodbye, my wife, I'm going to die,
    It's hard to die in springtime, you know,
    But I'm leaving for the flowers with my eyes closed, my wife,
    Because I closed them so often,
    I know you will take care of my soul.


    Now we are listening to the Canadian Terry Jacks version of the song which has changed like this..

    Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun,
    And every time that I was down
    You would always come around
    And get my feet back on the ground;
    Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky,
    Now that the spring is in the air,
    Whiff of flowers ev'rywhere,
    I wish that we could both be there!

    He has changed the lyrics like its for an girl friend or a young daughter. And has removed parts like "I'm taking the train before yours,
    But you take whatever train you can, Goodbye, my wife, I'm going to die"

    Here is a pic of Jacques Brel the original writer.

    ...in a man's life, there are two important dates : his birth and his death. Everything we do in between is not very important. - Jacques Brel
