Je ne te dirai jamais Adieu!

We walked side by side

But far apart

Our thoughts taking us far away and yet so near

We walked right up to the end of the road

Where the descent began.

We both stopped

Two friends bound by strange bonds

Two friends walking side by side

Two friends eager to watch the morrow together

Two friends wanting to share

We had come to the end of the road

We both stopped to say ‘Au revoir’

I looked up and he looked up too

Our eyes met.

The rain drizzled into our eyes

People jostled us by

Cursing out loud

But we were both lost in oblivion

For in that instant we knew we had come

To the end of the road

There was no descent

No climb from that moment onwards

We were each other’s ends

But the road had to be walked

And we walked

Little knowing

What the morrow had in wake for us.

For little did we know that the descent

That we made

Was only to tear us away from one another

To carry us away from that

Beautiful destiny

That we had foreseen

Yesterday in the depths of each other’s eyes !

Little did we know

That the morrow was never to come

That the sharing would be gone

Torn apart by the cruel world

Little did we know

That one would say Adieu and not Au revoir!

Au revoir, my dear friend

Adieu it can never be

For, we both know that

For one who has traveled that far

There is no looking back.

We maybe oceans apart

Mountains may separate us

People may walk between us

But we have walked the walk

And no one can take the memory

Of the walk we walked!

So au revoir my friend,

And remember that ‘Adieu’

It can never be!

Seasons may come

Seasons may go, Mais

Je ne te dirai jamais ‘Adieu’!
