Before Departure

Farewell, my friends
Farewell, my dear ones
If I was rude
Forgive my weaknessGoodbye, my friends
Goodbye to evening parties
Remember me
In the springTo work for your bread
Soon you must leave
Remember your families
And work for your childrenI don't need much
And the older I become
I realize
My friendshipsWill carry me over
In a course of distance
In a cause of sorrow
Friends that lastWill dance one more time
With me
I don't need much
But this I need
