Comment te dire adieu

About Comment te dire adieu

"Comment te dire adieu" (English: "How to Say Goodbye to You") is a French adaptation of the song "It Hurts to Say Goodbye". It was originally recorded by Françoise Hardy in 1968. "It Hurts to Say Goodbye" was written by Arnold Goland, probably best known for his co-operation with Phil Spector, and the American producer and songwriter Jacob "Jack" Gold (1921-1992). In 1966 it was recorded by Margaret Whiting on her album The Wheel of Hurt. In 1967 a release by Vera Lynn reached #7 in Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. These versions were interpreted in the style of a ballad, as was the first French version of the song with lyrics by Michèle Vendôme titled "Avant de dire adieu" which was released by Ginette Reno on her 1967 album Quelqu'un à aimer. More beat driven were the instrumental interpretations by Brazil's Walter Wanderley, dominated by the Hammond organ he is known for, and the Frenchman Caravelli, who focused more on strings, both published in the same year. Jack Gold Orchestra & Chorus peaked with their version, in style similar to the release of Caravelli, in mid-1969 on #28 of the Billboard Easy Listening charts. more »

Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux
Avoir de réflexes malheureux,
Il faut que tu m'expliques un peu mieux
Comment te dire adieu.
Mon cœur de silex vite prend feu,
Ton cœur de pyrex résiste au feu,
Je suis bien perplexe, je ne veux
Me résoudre aux adieux.

Je sais bien qu'un ex amour n'a pas de chance, 
Ou si peu,
Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux.

Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux,
Derrière un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu,
Comment te dire adieu.

Tu as mis a l'index nos nuits blanches, 
Nos matins gris-bleu,
Mais pour moi un explication voudrait mieux.
Sous aucun prétexte je ne veux
Devant toi surexposer mes yeux,
Derrière un kleenex je saurais mieux
Comment te dire adieu,
Comment te dire adieu,
Comment te dire adieu.
