When all the songs that I don’t know
stop their sounds for some minutes
In the silent harsh air
My last toy paper ship will give its scream:
Farewell, America! Though
I’ve never been to this far land
My farewell’s for ever,
So take your banjo
And play something you like.
La-la-la-lie-la, la-la-lie-la. La-la-la-lie-la, la-la-lie-la.
La-la-la-lie-la, la-la-lie-la. La-la-la-lie-la, la-la-lie-la.
The fashion jeans of my youth
Got very small for to wear.
Too much time we were learning
To love your strange forbidden luring fruit.
Farewell, America! Though
I will be never in this land.
I wonder if I hear
A song that I’ll remember all my life.
Farewell, America! Though
I will be never in this land.
I want you to listen to
This song of mine that sounds like a knell
