The French Creole song is said to be some 200 odd years older than the 1960's. Unless I'm mistaken, the singer "bids farewell" to the nice things that her lover would buy her and that he won't give her any more since he's leaving forever -Jim Dixon's post and Mama Lisa's World version -the lyrics to the song sung are slightly different from the ones posted on that page.

"Our Friend Google" doesn't seem to know the song you're looking for.
