Say goodbye, my own true lover,
As we sing a lover?s song
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
Now the carnival is gone
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
Now the carnival is gone
Say goodbye, my own true lover,
As we sing a lover?s song
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
Now the carnival is gone
High above, the dawn is waking,
And my tears are falling rain,
For the carnival is over;
We may never meet again
For the carnival is over;
We may never meet again

Like a drum my heart was beating,
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For pierrot and columbine
Now the harbour light is calling;
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die
Say goodbye, my own true lover,
As we sing a lover?s song
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
Now the carnival is gone
Say goodbye, my own true lover,
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die
