Proschai - The Limeliters

Proschai Ty Staraya Derevnya.

Proschai!

(Proschay ty novaya derevnya

Proschay tsyganskaya lyubov)?

Proschay proschay podruga dorogaya

Bog znayet uvizhul’ya tebya

Proschay proschay podruga dorogaya

Ba, ba, ba, ba ya bog znayet uvizhul’ya tebya

Proschay proschay podruga dorogaya

Ba, ba, ba, ba ya bog znayet uvizhul’ya tebya

Proschai… Dear friends it is time to leave you.

(Proschai)

The time has come to say good bye.

Proshchai, proschai

No matter what the country or the land,

Proshchai is one word they always understand.

Proshchai, proshchai.

Adieu, arrivederci, adios, shalom, aloha, auf wiedersehen, so long.

Perhaps we’ll meet in San Francisco, in Paris, Hong Kong, or New York.

The world is small and growing smaller every single day,

You’ll meet tomorrow, the friends you leave today.

You’ll see us all and ere the dust has settled in our tracks,

You’ll turn around and you will see us coming back.

Proshchai, it’s really tough to leave you, Proshchai,

We wish that you would come along.

Around this world we’ve lots of friends we know you’d like to know,

We’ll sing together from Maine to Mexico.

Proschai… We’re getting sentimental.

So here’s to when we meet again.

For auld lang syne, we’ll sing a little song or two or three,

And drink a toast to our global jamboree.
