Pahimakas

 

We’re near the end

Though not there, so

This word doesn’t

Have to bring a tear

Today

 

Though tears are

Healthy, maybe we

Can save ours for a

Little while and

Say instead

 

Au revoir (when it’s

Time), A bientot

 

Ciao, bella (bello)

 

Hasta luego, hasta

Pronto

 

See you again (and)

See you soon

 

Good-bye for now

 

“We’ll meet again,

Don’t know where,

Don’t know when”

 

In the sky or on the

Earth or over water

 

Pahimakas, friends

Pakimakas, family

 

Where it matters

Always there

 

 

“We’ll Meet Again” by Ross Parker, Hughie Charles

first released in 1939
