Seasons in the sun 大家都聽過吧！以下是 Terry Jacks 所唱的，是大家最熟悉的：

其實這首歌曲原來不是英文歌曲，而是法文歌，是 Jacques Brel 因得知患了癌症後所寫下的曲子，原曲名是 Le moribond，後來才被發掘而翻譯成英文，由 Terry Jacks 所唱紅，這也是我們最熟悉的版本，Westlife（西域男孩）也曾翻唱過，也因此這首歌可說是老中青都聽過。

以下是 Jacques Brel 的法文原唱：

 

英文歌詞：

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we're nine or ten
Together we climbed hills or trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
When you see them I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep* of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I get along

Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons all have gone

Goodbye Michelle, my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground

Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die
When all the bird are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfishes on the beach
