Hello

English version of the French song “Salut”, written by Vito Pallavicini and sang by Joe Dassin.
 
Chorus:
Hello! It is me again.
Hello! How do you do?
The time seemed to me too long.
Far away from home I have thought of you.
 
And having sailed a good deal,
Now so much weary I feel,
Make me some coffee please,
There is a tale that I want to tell.
 
Once upon a time there was someone,
Someone you know very well,
He went to a distant land,
And he was lost, and he has returned.
 
Chorus
 
You say that I've changed a lot,
So many times I have thought
Of you, of me, of us,
Had mad ideas and was so insane.
 
There's nothing more you can say,
For you I faded away,
I'm just a souvenir,
Well, if so, you will never hear:
 
Chorus.
