Message: <blockquote data-quote="GTRZ" data-source="post: 2125037" data-attributes="member: 1">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 wellGood-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 yoursBut 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 downYou would always come aroundAnd get my feet back on the ground;Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to dieWhen 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.<img src="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/7366/jacquesbreljb8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />...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</blockquote>
