由著名诗人作曲家 Jacques Brel 写于1961年。1964年被填上英文歌词，定名为“Seasons In The Sun”，但直到1973年才被加拿大歌手 Terry Jacks 重新翻唱并在加拿大和美国获得了前所未有的成功。这是一首面临死亡的人的遗嘱诗，向他一生和自己分享欢乐悲伤的爱人朋友甚至情敌道别，嘱咐他们照顾好自己的妻子。就在73年英文翻唱推出之前，Jacques Brel 在他歌唱生涯巅峰之时宣布退休，全球歌迷震惊了，但诗人没有给出任何解释。之后平静的六年，Jacques Brel 和癌症做着最后的斗争，终于不幸在1978年10月9日被病魔吞噬。让人不禁想起他生前的这首Seasons In The Sun
