Yup, the original HIT VERSION, of "Seasons in the sun", WAS sung by Terry Jacks.
It got to the dizzy heights of No.1, on the UK charts, back in March '74.
Hope that helps..
Take Care..

Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks. Lines go like this : Good-bye , it is hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sun, we had wine, we had song , like the seasons have all gone. Good-bye Michelle, little one, you helped me find ..... wondered how I got along, too much wine and too much song..... .

"Seasons in the Sun" had been written in French in 1961 under the title of "Le Moribond" (The Dying Man), by Belgian poet-composer Jacques Brel. In 1964, it was translated into English by Rod McKuen and recorded by Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio. Although that version didn't sell well, Terry heard it, and the tune remained in the back of his mind. The Beach Boys' rejection -- coupled with the death of a close personal friend of Terry's, which made the song's theme more meaningful to him -- finally sent Terry back into the studio, accompanied by guitarist Link Wray.

Adieu l'Ãmile je t'aimais bien
Adieu l'Ãmile je t'aimais bien tu sais
On a chanté les mêmes vins
On a chanté les mêmes filles
On a chanté les mêmes chagrins
Adieu l'Ãmile je vais mourir
C'est dur de mourir au printemps tu sais
Mais je pars aux fleurs la paix dans l'âme
Car vu que tu es bon comme du pain blanc
Je sais que tu prendras soin de ma femme
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Je veux qu'on s'amuse comme des fous
Je veux qu'on rie
Je veux qu'on danse
Quand c'est qu'on me mettra dans le trou
