Verse:
It is time that we must say: "Farewell,"
We leave with hearts so sad and drear.
Though we part, love within our hearts shall dwell,
Dreams of love that we shared together here.
 
Chorus:
Farewell to thee,  Farewell to thee!
A tear, a sigh, then part forever more.
We'll meet again in dreams where we shall dwell,
On the love that we shared here.
