LE MORIBOND
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we were nine or ten.
Together we've climbed hills and trees,
Learned of love and ABC's,
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air,
Pretty girls are everywhere.
Think if me and I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, papa, please pray for me.
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
Wonder how I got along.
Goodbye, papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air,
Little children everywhere,
When you'll see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the wine and the songs like the seasons have all gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere.
I wish that we could both be there.
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.
- Jacques Brel
Jacques Romain Georges Brel (Schaerbeek, April 8, 1929 – Los Angeles, October 9, 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter, composer, actor, and poet who wrote in French.

His music ranged from traditional chansonnier to musical theatre and avant-garde, influencing generations of artists worldwide. Besides music, Brel also worked in film, acting and directing films like *Le Far-West* (1973), which was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Among his most famous songs are *Ne me quitte pas*, *Amsterdam*, *Quand on n'a rien*, *Mathilde*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
