Merci, merci, merci
Für die Stunden, Chérie, Chérie, Chérie
Unsre Liebe war schön, so schön, merci, Chérie
Sei nicht traurig, muss ich auch von dir geh’n
Adieu, adieu, adieu
Deine Tränen tun weh, so weh, so weh
Unser Traum fliegt dahin, dahin, merci, Chérie
Weine nicht, auch das hat so seinen Sinn
Schau nach vorn, nicht zurück
Zwingen kann man kein Glück
Denn kein Meer ist so wild wie die Liebe
Die Liebe allein, nur die kann so sein
So sein, so sein
Merci, merci, merci
Für die Stunden, Chérie, Chérie, Chérie
Unsre Liebe war schön, so schön, merci, Chérie
So schön, so schön, merci, Chérie
So schön, so schön, merci, Chérie
Thank you, thank you, thank you
For the hours darling, darling, darling
Our love was beautiful, so beautiful, thank you, darling
Don’t be sad, as I have to leave you
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Your tears are painful, so painful, so painful
Our dream flies away, away, thank you, darling
Don’t cry, also that serves a useful purpose
Look ahead, not back
You can’t force luck
Because no sea is as wild as love
Only love can be like that
Be like that, be like that
Thank you, thank you, thank you
For the hours, darling, darling, darling
Our love was beautiful, so beautiful, thank you, darling
So beautiful, so beautiful, thank you, darling
So beautiful, so beautiful, thank you, darling
