{1}
Say goodbye, my own true lover,
As we sing a lover's song.
How it breaks my heart to leave you,
Now the carnival is gone.

{2}
High above the dawn is waking,
And my tears are falling rain,
For the carnival is over.
We may never meet again.

{3}
Like a drum my heart was beating,
And your kiss was sweet as wine,
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine.

{4}
Now the harbour light is calling.
This will be our last goodbye.
Tho' the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die.

{5}
Like a drum my heart was beating,
And your kiss was sweet as wine,
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine.

{6}
Now the harbour light is calling.
This will be our last goodbye.
Tho' the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die.

{Coda}
Tho' the carnival is over,
I will love you till I die.
