And her eyes are like skies that will rain
But there's work to be done and she does not complain

Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you pray
Now you must go and it's so hard to say

Goodbye Carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while
With your pretty smile
And someday you'll get home again

Goodbye Carmen
Hasta manana or who knows when
It all depends, goodbye

We're convinced our intentions are good
But we live in this world often misunderstood
Can you feel it? I can feel it, don't you
And no one seems to care much and it's so hard to say

Goodbye Carmen, goodbye Carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while
With your pretty smile
And someday you'll get home again

Goodbye Carmen, goodbye
Hasta manana or who knows when
It all depends, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Carmen, careful what you do
Be careful what you see, Carmen
We will always be with you

Turned around but she's lost in the sun
There was so much to say but she's already gone
So thank you Carmen, I won't be afraid, this is not the end
So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again

Goodbye Carmen
Hasta manana or never again
But you're my friend, Carmen
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
