ON SE REVERRA
(French Translation of WE'LL MEET AGAIN)
On se reverra, je ne sais pas où, je ne sais pas quand,
Mais je sais qu'on se reverra, un jour ensoleillé.
Continue à sourire, comme tu le fais toujours,
Jusqu'à ce que le ciel bleu éloigne les nuages noirs loin d'ici.
Alors vas-tu s'il-te-plaît dire bonjour à ces gens que je connais,
Dis leur que j'arriverai bientôt.
Ils seront contents de savoir que comme tu me regardais partir,
Je chantais cette chanson.
On se reverra, je ne sais pas où, je ne sais pas quand,
Mais je sais qu'on se reverra, un jour ensoleillé.
Alors vas-tu s'il-te-plaît dire bonjour à ces gens que je connais,
Dis leur que j'arriverai bientôt.
Ils seront contents de savoir que comme tu me regardais partir,
Je chantais cette chanson.
Continue à sourire, comme tu le fais toujours,
Jusqu'à ce que le ciel bleu éloigne les nuages noirs loin d'ici.

We'll meet again
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go,
I was singing this song.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

WE'LL MEET AGAIN (Vera Lynn)
as recorded by Vera Lynn
with Arthur Young (Novachord)
1939
Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear,
Just for a while, dear, we must part.
Don't let this parting upset you,
I'll not forget you, sweetheart.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smiling through,
Just like you always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know,
Tell them you won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That, as I saw you go,
You were singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know,
Tell them you won't be long.
They'll be happy to know
That, as I saw you go,
You were singing this song.
We'll meet again,
Don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
