Bye-byeBye-bye
À plus tardLater
À demainSee you tomorrow
On va se revoir plus tardWe'll see each other later
On va se reparler plus tardWe'll talk later
Il faut je m'en vasI have to go
Il faut je fais routeI've got to hit the road
Soignez vous-autres!Y'all take care!

"Au revoir" is typically the polite form of saying good-bye, and it is to be remembered that the "v" here is not pronounced. So it will be more like "Au re'oir", or as some will say "À re'oir".

"On va se revoir" follows this same pattern, it is said "On va se re'oir"
