Rage on, Ragin'.
Now, if you think the Seasons in the Sun lyrics were spooky, check out the subtitles on the original!

his portrait of a dying Man's good-bye to his faithful
friend, the priest whose religion he could not share, his unfaithful wife and her lover, his friend. Facetiously, he invites them all to have a good time as they bury him. This is a 1961 performance, the year the song was written

Interesting trivia, Rising. :) The English version is sure different than the original.

I remember my sister I would sing that song as we walked to school. We were too young to understand the true meaning behind the words of the song, but we understood he was dying and saying good-bye and it would make me sad.

English Version .. Lyrics

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we're nine or ten.
Together we climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty girls are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.
Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family.
You tried to teach me right from wrong.
Too much wine and too much song,
wonder how I get along.
Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the wine and the song,
like the seasons, all have gone.
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And every time that I was down
you would always come around
and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
when all the bird are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers ev'rywhere.
I whish that we could both be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the stars we could reach
were just starfishs on the beach
