So Long, Farewell

by Laibach

on The Sound of Music (2018)

[Choir]
There's a sad sort of clanking
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

There's a sad sort of clanking
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

[Milan]
So long
Farewell
Auf wiedersehen
Goodnight
I hate to go
And leave this pretty sight

[Choir]
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go
And leave this pretty sight

[Milan]
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you, and you, and you

So long
Farewell
Au revoir
I'd like to stay
And taste my first champagne

[Choir]
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go
And leave this pretty sight

[Milan]
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen
Goodbye

[Choir]
There's a sad sort of clanking
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say "cuckoo"

[Milan]
I'm glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly

The sun has gone
To bed and so must I
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodbye
