The Farewell Ball Lyrics – Mark Erelli
Singer: Mark Erelli
Title: The Farewell Ball
The government man
Started building his dam
Then he told us it was all for the best
‘Cause they were tearing it down
They were drowning our town
In the name of progress I guess
We held our heads proud
‘Til the state bought us out
And there wasn’t much else we could do
But go down to Town Hall
To the last firemen’s ball
It was decked out in red, white and blue
Come, come take my hand
Twirl to the band ’round the old Town Hall
Come, come take my hand
This is our last chance
Down at the Farewell Ball
The Downings and Gibsons
Farleys and Dickinsons
Everyone dressed to the nines
They piled into town
Came from miles around
To pay their respects one last time
A hush filled the room
And the band stopped the tune
As the midnight bell slowly chimed
I saw grown men break down
At the death of a town
When the orchestra played “Auld Lang Syne”
Come, come take my hand
Twirl to the band ’round the old Town Hall
Come, come take my hand
They’ve called the last dance
Down at the Farewell Ball
Even now I recall
How the waters claimed all
And made islands of the tallest of hills
And families and neighbors
Now scattered like paper
All etched in my memory still
I walk down there sometimes
Through the reservoir pines
To listen to the wind on the waves
It’s like nothing has changed
I can still hear the strains
Of the last tune the orchestra played
Come, come take my hand
Twirl to the band ’round the old Town Hall
Come, come take my hand
They’ve called the last dance

The Farewell Ball – Terjemahan / Translation
Orang pemerintah
Mulai membangun bendungannya
Lalu dia memberi tahu kami bahwa itu semua yang terbaik
Karena mereka merobohkannya
Mereka menenggelamkan kota kami
Atas nama kemajuan saya kira
Kami membuat kepala kami bangga
‘Til negara membelikan kami
Dan tidak banyak lagi yang bisa kami lakukan
Tapi pergi ke balai kota
Untuk bola petugas pemadam kebakaran terakhir
Itu dihiasi dengan warna merah, putih dan biru
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Memutar -mutar band ‘Round the Old Town Hall
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Ini adalah kesempatan terakhir kami
Turun di bola perpisahan
Downings dan Gibsons
Farleys dan Dickinsons
Semua orang berpakaian sembilan
Mereka menumpuk ke kota
Datang dari mil sekitar
Untuk memberikan penghormatan untuk terakhir kalinya
Hush memenuhi ruangan
Dan band menghentikan nada
Saat bel Midnight perlahan -lahan berdentang
Saya melihat pria dewasa hancur
Pada saat kematian kota
Saat orkestra bermain “auld lang syne”
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Memutar -mutar band ‘Round the Old Town Hall
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Mereka telah menelepon tarian terakhir
Turun di bola perpisahan
Bahkan sekarang saya ingat
Bagaimana air mengklaim semua
Dan membuat pulau -pulau dari bukit tertinggi
Dan keluarga dan tetangga
Sekarang tersebar seperti kertas
Semua terukir dalam ingatan saya
Terkadang saya berjalan di sana
Melalui pinus reservoir
Untuk mendengarkan angin di ombak
Sepertinya tidak ada yang berubah
Saya masih bisa mendengar ketegangannya
Dari lagu terakhir yang dimainkan orkestra
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Memutar -mutar band ‘Round the Old Town Hall
Ayo, ayo ambil tanganku
Mereka telah menelepon tarian terakhir
