THANK YOU VERY MUCH
   

To-to-to-to-to toda raba, raba m'od.

Thanks a lot, thanks very, very much.
For the pleasantest hours,
For the days, for the nights.
[For] the biggest celebrations -
Everything was like a party,
Yes, like a party.
Thanks, thanks a lot, thanks -
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot, thanks very, very much.
We can say goodbye,
If it's over, it's not a tragedy.
It was charming -
What can we do?
Always, there's an end to everything,
Yes, to everything,
There is an end to everything.
There is an end to everything.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot, from the depths of my heart.
Everything passes,
Even such a great love.
It can suddenly die -
And it's over as it came.
Yes, as it came.
Thanks, thanks a lot, thanks,
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot
What happened,
Perhaps was and will not return.
Perhaps was and will not return.
Tomorrow even what comes today will go away.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot.

The biggest celebrations -
Everything was like a party,
Yes, like a party.
Thanks, thanks a lot, thanks -
Thanks a lot!
