До свиданья, друг мой, до свиданья. Милый мой, ты у меня в груди. Предназначенное расставанье Обещает встречу впереди. До свиданья, друг мой, без руки, без слова, Не грусти и не печаль бровей,— В этой жизни умирать не ново, Но и жить, конечно, не новей.

'Til we meet again, my friend, 'til we meet again, Dearest one, you're with me in my heart. It will happen, even though we know not when, Even though, predestined, we must part. 'Til we meet again, my friend, no handshakes, no words too And no grief, no cries of pain so shrill. In this life, to die is nothing new, But, of course, to live's not newer still.
