The lyrics of "Ah, Goodbye, Friend" from the episode "The Bridge" are as follows:
That morning, I woke up from my dream.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
One morning, I woke up from a dream.
The invaders broke into my hometown.
O guerrillas, take me away quickly.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
Guerrillas, take me away quickly.
I really can't take it anymore.
Ah, if I were here, I would die in battle.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
If I were here, I would die in battle.
You must bury me.
Please bury me on a high hill.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
Bury me on a high hill.
Put in another beautiful flower.
Ah, every time people walk by here.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
Every time people walk by here.
Everyone says what a beautiful flower it is.
This flower belongs to the guerrilla fighters.
Ah, goodbye, my friend, goodbye, goodbye.
This flower belongs to the guerrilla fighters.
He gave his life for freedom.
