Don't Leave Me

Ne Me Quitte Pas

Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
We have to forgetIl faut oublier
Everything can be forgottenTout peut s'oublier
That which is already fleeingQui s'enfuit déjà
Forget the timeOublier le temps
Of misunderstandingsDes malentendus
And the lost timeEt le temps perdu
To know howÀ savoir comment
To forget those hoursOublier ces heures
That sometimes killedQui tuaient parfois
With questions of whyÀ coups de pourquoi
The heart of happinessLe coeur du bonheur
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas

I will offer youMoi, je t'offrirai
Pearls of rainDes perles de pluie
From landsVenues de pays
Where it doesn't rainOù il ne pleut pas
I will dig the earthJe creuserai la terre
Until after my deathJusqu'après ma mort
To cover your bodyPour couvrir ton corps
With gold and lightD'or et de lumière
I will create a realmJe ferai un domaine
Where love will be kingOù l'amour sera roi
Where love will be lawOù l'amour sera loi
Where you will be queenOù tu seras reine
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas

Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
I will invent for youJe t'inventerai
Nonsensical wordsDes mots insensés
That you will understandQue tu comprendras
I will talk to youJe te parlerai
About those loversDe ces amants-là
Who saw their heartsQui ont vu deux fois
Ignite twiceLeurs cœurs s'embraser
I will tell youJe te raconterai
The story of that kingL'histoire de ce roi
Who died for notMort de n'avoir pas
Being able to meet youPu te rencontrer
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas

We've often seenOn a vu souvent
The fire reigniteRejaillir le feu
From the old volcanoDe l'ancien volcan
That we thought was too oldQu'on croyait trop vieux
It is, they sayIl est, paraît-il
From burned landsDes terres brûlées
Yielding more wheatDonnant plus de blé
Than a better AprilQu'un meilleur avril
And when evening comesEt quand vient le soir
For a sky to blazePour qu'un ciel flamboie
Do red and blackLe rouge et le noir
Not marry each other?Ne s'épousent-ils pas?
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas

Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
I won't cry anymoreJe ne vais plus pleurer
I won't speak anymoreJe ne vais plus parler
I will hide thereJe me cacherai là
Watching youÀ te regarder
Dance and smileDanser et sourire
And listening to youEt à t'écouter
Sing and then laughChanter et puis rire
Let me becomeLaisse-moi devenir
The shadow of your shadowL'ombre de ton ombre
The shadow of your handL'ombre de ta main
The shadow of your dogL'ombre de ton chien
ButMais
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
Don't leave meNe me quitte pas
