3-B1- Seven year itch (Barb/Monmix)
Featuring Pat ...in english - choeurs Lalo
Pour la fete de SLC Mississauga en 2006
Dernier episode de la serie puisque Monmix a quitte le Canada justeapres cette fete. Toujours sur un texte de Barb, cette derniere chanson de ce qui pourra rester comme la trilogie Mississauga, est donc completement orientee vers les au-revoirs, donc une melodie tres douce sur un rythme de guitares 12cordes un peu old-folk, sans trop de fioriture.....et comme Lalo aussi partait, elle aussi participe aux choeurs
SEVEN YEAR ITCH
Lyrics by Barb
Featuring Pat - choeurs Lalo
one, two, three, four, five, six, seven
In marriage they call it the seven year itch,
Looking for change, making a switch,
In business they call it growth of career,
Leaving from here and going to there.
However you view it, a scratch or an itch,
Saying goodbye, it sure is a bitch!
What will I miss, the list is so long,
There’s so little time to sing in a song.
This country, the plant, the seasons and friends,
I’ll cherish the beginning, the middles and ends.
It was cold but fun on my blue motorbike,
Riding in snow whenever I like.
Too bad I won’t get my snowmobile in the summer,
And bye bye to my jeep, and my baby finger.
Aloha, Ciao, Auf Wiedersehen,
Cheerio, Adios, it all means the same.
The distance between us, it isn’t that far,
Please don’t say goodbye, just say au revoir
You’ve earned the awards, the praise and applause,
You’re all on the good list of old Santa Claus.
You did it, you rocked it, you’ve reached new heights,
You’ve worked long and hard, the days and the nights.
The targets, achievements we all took in stride,
We all drove together for a hell of a ride.
My memories are fond, our friendship runs deep,
These are the things I promise to keep.
chorus
As we turn fifty, we do not stand still,
We continue to grow, and build the new mill.
We’ve come a long way to where we now stand,
One of the best in all of the land.
Chorus
You’ve all touched my heart with welcoming smiles,
A friendship bridged over thousands of miles.
I may no longer be here, but it’s really not far,
I won’t say goodbye, I’ll just say au revoir.
