Say goodbye, my own true lover,
And we'll steal a lover's song.
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone.
Oh my love, the dawn is breaking
And my tears are falling rain,
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 cloak of night is falling
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.
