My version is more faithful to the original
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye, my dear,
You will be forever in my heart.
A predestined farewell that is near
Promises a reunion to those who part.
Goodbye, my friend, with no hand or word,
And don’t let sadness bend your brow.
In this life to die is not a new trend,
And to live surely isn’t newer anyhow.
