Lyrics
Say goodbye, my one true lover
Saying farewell to my true love.
And we'll steal a lover's song
We will create a song that belongs to lovers.
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Expressing sadness at the necessity of parting.
Now the carnival has gone
Referring to the end of a joyous and celebratory period.
Oh my love, the dawn is breaking
The morning is beginning, symbolizing a new phase.
And my tears are falling rain
Tears are compared to falling rain, emphasizing sorrow.
For the carnival is over
Acknowledging the conclusion of the carnival or festivity.
We may never meet again
Expressing uncertainty about the possibility of future meetings.
Like a drum my heart was beating
Describing the heartbeat as rhythmic like a drum.
And your kiss was sweet as wine
Recalling a past kiss that was delightful.
But the joys of love are fleeting
Recognizing the transient nature of love's joys.
Now the cloak of night is falling
Referring to the approaching darkness, symbolizing the end.
This will be our last goodbye
Announcing that this parting will be the final farewell.
Though the carnival is over
Reiterating the end of the carnival and the associated joy.
I will love you till I die
Pledging enduring love despite the separation.
Though the carnival is over
Repeating the sentiment of eternal love even after the end.
I will love you till I die
Reaffirming the commitment to love until death.
Oh, I will love you till I die
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the promised love.
Oh, love you till I die
Expressing a profound commitment to love until the end of life.
Yeah, love you till I die
Repeating the vow to love until death.
