There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is poping out to say cuckoo

Marta, Gretl, Brigitta
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us
But firmly they compel us
To say goodbye
To you...
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

Marta
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Friedrich
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen

Liesl
I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne
Yes?

Capitão
No!
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good bye

Kurt
I leave and heave a sigh and say good bye
Goodbye...

Brigitta
I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie

Louisa
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly

Gretl
The sun has gone to bed and so must I
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good bye
Good bye, good bye, good bye...

Convidados
Goodbye...
