The Carnival is Over
Farewell to Love: The Poignant Tale of a Carnival's End
Lyrics
Say goodbye my own true lover
Say goodbye to my true lover
As we sing a lovers song
Singing a song of love together
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Expressing the heartbreak of parting
Now the carnival is gone
Referring to the end of the carnival, a symbol of joy
High above the dawn is waiting
Describing the anticipation of a new day
And my tears are falling rain
Tears likened to falling rain
For the carnival is over
Expressing the end of festivities
We may never meet again
Uncertainty about future meetings
Like a drum my heart was beating
Heartbeat symbolizes intense emotion
And your kiss was sweet as wine
Recalling a sweet and memorable kiss
But the joys of love are fleeting
Acknowledging the transience of love's joy
For Pierrot and Columbine
Referring to Pierrot and Columbine, traditional characters in love stories
Now the harbor light is calling
Guided by the harbor light, a metaphor for departure
This will be our last goodbye
Emphasizing that this is the final farewell
Though the carnival is over
Reiterating the end of the joyful carnival
I will love you till I die
Pledging eternal love despite parting
Like a drum my heart was beating
Recalling the heartbeat and sweet kiss
And your kiss was sweet as wine
Reiterating the sweetness of a past kiss
But the joys of love are fleeting
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of love's joys
For Pierrot and Columbine
Referring again to Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbor light is calling
Harbor light signaling the final goodbye
This will be our last goodbye
Reiterating that this is the last farewell
Though the carnival is over
Reaffirming the end of the joyful carnival
I will love you till I die
Pledging eternal love even after the carnival's end
Though the carnival is over
Repeating the acknowledgment of the carnival's conclusion
I will love you till I die
Promising enduring love despite the carnival's end
