RIP Judith Durham. This song never ceases to move me to tears every time I listen to it since her passing. The carnival is over, but your music lives on.
Beautiful lady,beautiful voice R.I.P Judith a real legend of Australian music Had the privilege of seeing her perform live many years ago with her husband Ron Edgeworth.
Just purchased this CD on Amazon last week. It is Fantastic!!! Been a Seekers fan since 1965. Never been a more beautiful female singing voice, ever, in my opinion. And what a charming personality! She just radiates love, joy, and sincerity!! God bless her, as she has blessed us all these years. Tim in Texas USA
"The Carnival Is Over" Say goodbye my own true lover As we sing a lovers song How it breaks my heart to leave you Now the carnival is gone High above the dawn is waiting And my tears are falling rain For the carnival is over We may never meet again Like a drum, my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die Like a drum, my heart was beating And your kiss was sweet as wine But the joys of love are fleeting For Pierrot and Columbine Now the harbour light is calling This will be our last goodbye Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die Though the carnival is over I will love you till I die..... NOTE: This song features the couplet "But the joys of love are fleeting/ For Pierrot and Columbine." Pierrot and Columbine were the names of two stock characters in the old Italian pantomime-like theatre known as del'arte Pierrot was a sad clown in love with the beautiful Columbine who breaks his heart by leaving him for Harlequin.
beautiful voice, such feeling from her heart full of compassion, all my love and best wishes to her. tears form always when listening to her songs shes a angel from heaven
Judith is Australia's national treasure. Not the trash that you hear today. Her voice is angelic and crystal clear, and God has given her this very pure and powerful voice for her to share with the world. God bless you always Judith. May you live a long and happy life. Blessings from Singapore.
Whenever I hear Juith sing this song I can't help but cry - and the passing of time somehow makes it even sadder and more poignant. Just beautiful, sung by a gorgeous voice.
the wizard of oz,glen millar in the mood,disneyland,and jusith durham all magical thank you for putting all these videos on of the royal festival hall with judith
Hey Numinator, it's not plagiarism when some acknowledges where the original music came from, if you listen to Judith's interviews, she gives credit to the Russian origins!
OMG!!! i just realized this song is exactly russian folk song.senka razing song.well enjoy anyway russians have a lot of music.you are good to change the words at least.
Have lived with this beautiful music for fifty years, there is no comparison with today's music apart from a couple of exceptions, I think as Judith got older the voice got better and better, a beautiful women with an amazingly wonderful voice...
Not only does this lady Judith Durham possess them most stunningly beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life but, as many other people have said, her voice is loaded with so much love and compassion it brings tears to my eyes. No other singer has ever done that!.
As a small child I heard adults talk of Judith Durham having the best voice. I grew up with Seekers hits in the background. Now I am 61 and have had a lifetime of knowing that her voice was as they described, the very best. RIP Judith you will always be remembered for hitting our hearts with your amazing vocal talent 🖤
What can I say, I only want to hear your voice singing, from now on, fifty eight years I've heard your voice, who could ever get sick of it. RS love, x
One of the world's best female vocalists with perfect harmony and pitch to the voice. No matter what life threw at her she was so gracious and carried on with such dignity. RIP Judith. Sing for the angels
I watched this concert on Sky a few years back i believe it was heither her 63rd or 65th birthday and i thought what an incredible woman she is the voice may be a bit lower but the sound of the original song is there and not altered like a lot of singers who age she has a voice in a million,absolutely adore her
Whatever will we do when she retires? I think my ears will go into negative overdrive, I could not envisage a world where this famous songstress is not up there singing to us
Cette chanson me met toujours les larmes aux yeux.. Je suis un fan de ce groupe exceptionnellement talentueux depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvienne. Après tant d'années et toujours les larmes aux yeux quand j'entends cette chanson. Trois vrais gentlemen et une charmante dame fragile à la voix de rossignol. Salutations chaleureuses de la Corée du Sud. RIP Judith Durham, vraiment la plus belle voix.
Who could not love a voice like Judith . I have never heard anyone sing Don,t Cry for me Argentina like the amazing Julie Covington another singer from those amazing days but I am sure all who have wrote here would give their right hand to hear Judith Durham sing DON,T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA can you even begin to imagine it dam sure it would rock the world sideways If your reading this Judith sing it for us . for we know you can still sing for there has been many many singers from Dianna Durbin Karen Carpenter ,Julie Covington Maria Callas , and many more but NONE like you shivers down the arm sending people into a place of intense awe just to listen to you sing .hoping the song will never end .
Perfect pitch is what someone said Judith has, her voice and sound has never altered, when you watch Judith in this video then flash back to the beginning, Judith's voice or pitch has remain so classic, I look at all the video of Judith and the Seeker and could only imagine the great influence they have had in music, though the sound of the Seekers may not constitute Rock and Roll, Judith and The Seekers should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I say this this because The Seekers music and
Very funny that this group is singin' the old Russian folk-song of XIX century (1883)... The words are different, but the tune is the same - completely. Plagiarism...

"The Carnival Is Over"
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die.....

So glad I lived through this era , full of real musical talent everywhere you went......unlike today's garbage.
Barry Hughes you and me both Barry, compared to the junk of today... Judith and Nana would put them to shame.
Same key as she sang in in 1967

Where's the Boys ??
@Numinator1 What a stupid remark. Credit for this song was always given to the original Russian folk song that inspired this version.
Have lived with this beautiful music for fifty years, there is no comparison with today's music apart from a couple of exceptions, I think as Judith got older the voice got better and better, a beautiful women with an amazingly wonderful voice...
Not only does this lady Judith Durham possess them most stunningly beautiful voice I have ever heard in my life but, as many other people have said, her voice is loaded with so much love and compassion it brings tears to my eyes. No other singer has ever done that!.
I feel the same and I should say that her voice and the feelings it awakens have found a place in my heart and soul. Judith is unique.
As a small child I heard adults talk of Judith Durham having the best voice. I grew up with Seekers hits in the background. Now I am 61 and have had a lifetime of knowing that her voice was as they described, the very best. RIP Judith you will always be remembered for hitting our hearts with your amazing vocal talent 🖤
You put it most eloquently. All true!
What can I say, I only want to hear your voice singing, from now on, fifty eight years I've heard your voice, who could ever get sick of it. RS love, x
Glenda Field i agree with you
Very sad to hear of her passing today! RIP
Judith Durham has one of the best voices ever, i love here
Australia is blessed by Judith's voice. None other have given us such a beautiful voice.
What a wonderful, beautiful voice. The best Australia has ever had. Part of my life, never forgotten. Love you Judith, RIP beautiful lady xxx
The Carnival is Over but the voice remains!
One of the world's best female vocalists with perfect harmony and pitch to the voice. No matter what life threw at her she was so gracious
and carried on with such dignity.
RIP Judith. Sing for the angels
Pitch perfect live performance...stunningly good
I watched this concert on Sky a few years back i believe it was heither her 63rd or 65th birthday and i thought what an incredible woman she is the voice may be a bit lower but the sound of the original song is there and not altered like a lot of singers who age she has a voice in a million,absolutely adore her
Crappy day bad weather so I listen to Judith for hours and the clouds in my mind fade away. This is my funeral song.
How have the last six years been?
Did you have occasion to use this song for your funeral? (Don’t answer if the answer is “yes”)
RIP Judith, the most beautiful voice ever
Amazing how a voice can be the same after all those years. Great, never performed before. Greetins to Judith from Brasschaat, Flanders. Harry.
This rendition has a depth of meaning missing in her earlier recording, Of course, her voice is always perfect.
Whatever will we do when she retires? I think my ears will go into negative overdrive, I could not envisage a world where this famous songstress is not up there singing to us
A true gift of God!
Judith Durham rip you are the bests
i wish i was your lover judith i love your music i love your personality and most of all i love you may you get old gracefully my sweet nightingale
bless you judith.
Cette chanson me met toujours les larmes aux yeux..
Je suis un fan de ce groupe exceptionnellement talentueux depuis aussi longtemps que je me souvienne. Après tant d'années et toujours les larmes aux yeux quand j'entends cette chanson.

RIP Judith Durham, vraiment la plus belle voix.
What a beautiful song! I've never heard it before.
RIP

One of the best singers of all time.

I doubt any opera singer would be able to cause the same impact in my soul and mind that listening to Judith causes in me.
wonderful..enough said
Perfect pitch is what someone said Judith has, her voice and sound has never altered, when you watch Judith in this video then flash back to the beginning, Judith's voice or pitch has remain so classic, I look at all the video of Judith and the Seeker and could only imagine the great influence they have had in music, though the sound of the Seekers may not constitute Rock and Roll, Judith and The Seekers should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I say this this because The Seekers music and
Beautiful and yet...without the boys the magic is missing..love Judith though .
Dear sweet Judith..Your voice is still wonderful and lifts me up to greater heights xx
she has the most amazing voice i could listen to it all day, im the third generation in my family to love her
Wonderfully sung, but what a slushy arrangement, awful! Ruins the song for me.
So beautiful...........makes me cry.
Det er en gammel favoritsang, som vækker mange dejlige minder. VIOLA

Very funny that this group is singin' the old Russian folk-song of XIX century (1883)... The words are different, but the tune is the same - completely. Plagiarism...
