Bye Bye Blackbird
Farewell to Sorrows: Bye Bye Blackbird's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Pack up all my cares and woes,
Packing up all troubles and sorrows.
Here I go, singing low,
Beginning to sing in a low tone.
Bye, bye, blackbird.
Bidding farewell to a blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me,
Expressing the existence of someone waiting.
Sugar is sweet, so is she,
Comparing the sweetness of sugar to a person.
Bye, bye, blackbird.
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me,
Feeling misunderstood and unloved by those present.
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me.
Reflecting on the unfortunate stories others share.
Make my bed and light the light,
Preparing for rest and illumination.
I'll arrive late tonight,
Planning to arrive at a later time.
Blackbird, bye, bye.
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird.
Pack up all my cares and woes,
Reiterating the act of packing up troubles.
Here I go, singing low,
Continuing to sing in a low tone.
Bye, bye, blackbird.
Bid farewell again to the blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me,
Reaffirming the presence of someone waiting.
Sugar is sweet, so is she,
Reiterating the comparison of sweetness.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, blackbird.
Intensifying the farewell to the blackbird.
I said, no one here can love and understand me,
Emphasizing the theme of feeling unloved and misunderstood.
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me.
Repeating the exposure to unfortunate stories.
So, make my bed and light the light,
Repeating the preparation for rest and illumination.
I'll arrive late tonight,
Reiterating the plan to arrive later.
Blackbird, bye, bye.
Concluding with a final farewell to the blackbird.
Make my bed and light the light,
Repeating the act of preparing for rest and illumination.
I'll arrive late tonight,
Reiterating the plan to arrive at a later time.
Blackbird,
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird.
I said blackbird,
Further emphasis on bidding farewell to the blackbird.
I said blackbird,
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird.
Oh, blackbird, bye, bye.
Concluding with a final farewell to the blackbird.
