《Seasons in the Sun》的原唱是法国歌手Jacques Brel,歌曲原名为《Le Moribond》(临终的人),发表于1961年。这首歌描述了一个罹患癌症、不久于人世的男子在面临死亡时对父亲、妻子以及挚友的依依难舍之情。
Westlife(西城男孩)在1999年翻唱了这首歌,并使其广受欢迎。Westlife的版本中,歌词大致如下:
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye, my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
We had everything, and then we had to part
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
