Ne Me Quitte Pas

Don't leave me
You must forget
Everything can be forgotten
That is already fleeing
Forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the time wasted
On knowing how
Forget those hours
That sometimes killed
With a barrage of whys
The heart of happiness

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

I will offer you
Pearls and rain
From lands
Where it doesn't rain
I will dig the earth
Even after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will create a domain
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you will be king
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

I will invent
Nonsensical words
That you will understand
I will talk to you
About those lovers
Who saw their hearts
Ignite twice
I will tell you
The story of that king
Who died for not
Being able to meet you

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

We have often seen
The fire reignite
From the old volcano
That was thought too old
It seems there are
Burnt lands
Yielding more wheat
Than a better April
And when evening comes
For a sky to blaze
Do not red and black
Marry each other
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

I will not cry anymore
I will not speak anymore
I will hide there
Watching you
Dance and smile
And listening to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
