Adieu monsieur le professeur [English translation]

Children are performing farandole dance

And the old schoolteacher is quite moved:

Tomorrow he will leave his dear school

He won't go up anymore to this platform

{Chorus:}

Goodbye, mister teacher

We will never forget you

And deep in our heart

These words are written in chalk

We offer you these few flowers

To say how much we loved you

We will never forget you

Goodbye mister teacher

A tear fell on his hand

Alone in the classroom he sat down

He saw some children pass by

That he loved throughout his life

{Chorus:}

Great prizes are awarded to students

All speeches are over

Under the covered playground, the audience rises

One last time the children will sing
