Bitte geh nicht fort (Ne me quitte pas)
Marlene Dietrich
Please Don't Go Away
Please don't go away!
No matter what I've done,
no matter what I've said,
don't believe a word!
Forget about it!
Often in a fight,
we say things that we
later deeply regret.
But my heart wanted
to be all yours,
because I love you,
only you alone!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Stay close to me,
give me your hand!
I'll tell you about
the distant land,
where there's no anger,
no tears to find,
where no power in the world
can tear lovers apart.
Where in the open fields
there's no heartbreak,
where a vow of loyalty
lasts for eternity.
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Don't leave me alone!
If you walk out on me,
the sky will fall.
Let's stand like we used to,
quiet by the window,
dreamily watching
as the fog rolls in.
Until the moon appears
in the sky above,
our two shadows
lovingly united.
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Believe me, I will
satisfy your longing,
I'll fulfill every wish
of this world,
I'll do everything
that I've neglected,
to be the woman
that you've dreamed of.
Don't leave me alone -
I beg you -
don't leave me alone,
because I love you!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
Please don't go away!
