Adieu, Mein Kleiner Gardeoffizier
André Rieu
Farewell, My Little Guard Officer
And one day with song and sound
A ensign joined the guard
An ensign, young and full of recklessness and slim
On his cap the golden cockade
There stood the mother before her son
Holding his hands clasped
Gave him a small medallion
And she said to her boy
Farewell my little guard officer, farewell, farewell
And don't forget me
And don't forget me
Farewell my little guard officer, farewell, farewell
May happiness be with you
May happiness be with you
Stand straight, very straight
Laugh into the sunny day
Whatever may happen
If you have worried looks, away with them
Ta-ta-ra-ta-ta
Others are there for gloom
Farewell my little guard officer, farewell, farewell
And don't forget me
And don't forget me
Farewell my little guard officer, farewell, farewell
May happiness be with you
May happiness be with you
Farewell, farewell my little officer, farewell
