We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
all that's flown beyond
Let's forget the time,
the misunderstands,
and the wasted time
To find out how,
to forget these hours
which sometimes kill
the blows of why,
a heart full of joy.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I offer you
pearls of rain
Coming from the lands
where it never rains
I will cross the world
till after my death
to cover your bosom
with gold and light
I will make a kingdom
where love will be king,
where love will be the law,
where you will be the queen.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now,
I will invent for you
the insane words
that you'll understand
And I will tell you
of these lovers who
were seen twice
with their hearts in blaze
I will say in details
the story of this king
Dead, from having not
encountered you.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
One often recalls
flames light anew
From an old volcano
thought to be too old.
It appears that
the scorched fields
can give more corn
than the best of springs.
And when evening comes
in this blazing sky,
the red and the night
marry nevermore.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
I will hide somehow
Just to look at you
dance and smile
and to hear you
sing and then laugh.
Let me be for you
the shadow of your shadow,
the shadow of your hand,
The shadow of your dog.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
A new addiction, a translation of a French Song Ne Me Quitte Pas by Jacques Brel. An amazing piece of art indeed.
