So long boys (Adios Muchachos)
Del libro «Favorite Collection of Tangos» por Xavier Cugat
So long all my bosom friends and boon companions
Tho’ I must leave you don’t let it grieve you
there is a reason for good-by’s I’m saying to you
it’s up to me to make the explanation due you
perhaps you’ve noticed that my mind is in the distance
that my Morale ‘s gone, I’ve no resistance
someone has changed my plan of life my hole existence
you have guessed the answer fellows it’s a girl
to say that she is charming
with manner most disarming
would make you ridicule me
but really just the same
if you could only meet her
I know you would say «oh, oh, oh»
you’d give me credit and say I’m not to blame
she’s more than just attractive
but also retroactive
when she returns my kisses a method she employs
that sure has got me winging for fair
I ‘m swinging in air that’s why
I’m singing it’s «So Long Boys»
