Ne Me Quitte Pas
DON’T LEAVE ME
Don’t leave me
we must forget
everything can be forgotten
who is already running away
forgetting time
misunderstandings
and wasted time
knowing how to
forget those hours
which sometimes killed
br/>with why
the heart of happiness
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I will offer you
pearls of rain
from countries
where it does not rain
I will dig the earth
until after my death
to cover your body
with gold and light
I will make a domain
Where love will be king
Or love will be law
Or you will be queen
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I'll invent you
br/>senseless words
that you will understand
I will speak to you
about these lovers
who have seen twice
their hearts set on fire
I will tell you
the story of this king
who died of not having been able to
meet you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
We have often seen
the fire erupt from the ancient volcano
which we thought was too old
it seems
scorched lands
giving more wheat
than a better April
And when evening comes
so that a sky blazes
br/>red and black
don't they marry
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me don't
Don't leave me
I'm not going to cry anymore
I'm not going to talk anymore
I'll hide there
watching you
dance and smile
br/>and listen 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
