Farewell my friends
Farewell my dear ones
If I was rude
forgive my weakness

Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to evening parties
Remember me
in the spring

Work for your bread
Soon we must leave
Remember your families
and work for your children

I don’t need much
and the older I become
I realise
my friendships

will carry me over
any cause of strangeness
and any cause of distance
The friends that last

will dance one more time
with me
I don’t need much
but this I need
