If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)

If you go away

On this summer's day

Then you might as well

Take the sun away

All the birds that flew

In the summer sky

When our love was new

And our hearts were high

And the day was young

And the nights were long

And the moon stood still

For the night bird's song

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away...

But if you stay

I'll make you a day

Like no day has been

Or will be again

We'll sail on the sun

We'll ride on the rain

We'll talk to the trees

And worship the wind

But if you go

I'll understand

Leave me just enough love

To fill up my hand

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away...

Ne me quitte pas

Il faut oublier

Tout peut s'oublier

Qui s'enfuit déjà

Oublier le temps

Des malentendus

Et le temps perdu

A savoir comment

Oublier ces heures

Qui tuaient parfois

A coups de pourquoi

Le coeur du bonheur

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas

But if you stay

I'll make you a night

Like no night has been

Or will be again

I'll sail on your smile

I'll ride on your touch

I'll talk to your eyes

That I love so much

But if you go

I'll understand

Leave me just enough love

To hold in my hand

If you go away

If you go away

If you go away...

If you go away

As I know you must

There is nothing left

In this world to trust

Just an empty room

Full of empty space

Like the empty look

I see on your face

Though I would have been the shadow

Of your shadow

If you might have kept me

By your side

If you go away

If you go away

Please don't go away...
