Puisque Vous Partez En Voyage
Jean Sablon
Since You're Going on a Trip
{Spoken:}
Do you know it's the first time we're parting since it happened?
Notice it's only been fifteen days!...
Obviously fifteen days isn't very long...
but still think about how many hours that is!...
Since you're going on a trip
Since we're parting tonight
My heart is learning
I want to smile with courage
See, I've placed your luggage,
Walk ahead, by the corridor
And for the usual big signals
I've prepared my large handkerchief
In a moment the train will depart
I'll stay alone on the platform
And I'll see you from the station
Waving goodbye with your bouquet
Promise me to be very good
To think of me every day
And come back to our cage
Where I await your return.
{Spoken:}
There, I found you a good seat in a compartment
where there's a big lady and an old priest with a white beard.
And then I bought you two books... The first one is about the lives of saints...
And the other one is about the blessed Ernestine... Do you like that?
Since you're going on a trip
You promised me, my darling
To write me fourteen pages
Every morning or more
So I can see your face
Lower the window, please
It's awful, I'm losing all courage
Suddenly I hate Paris
The conductor shouts:
