Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me,

Il faut oublier every tear I shed
Tout peut s'oublier whispers all misdeeds
Qui s'enfuit déjà can be now released

Oublier le temps Let’s forget what’s lost

Des malentendus Devastating time
Et le temps perdu that was splitting us
À savoir comment that was killing us

Oublier ces heures And these questions now

Qui tuaient parfois Prying, full of vile
à coups de pourquoi How? For what? And how?
Le cœur du bonheur Let’s forget them all

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Moi, je t'offrirai On a rainy day

Des perles de pluie I’ll bring from the lands
Venues de pays Where the skies don’t cry
où il ne pleut pas String of rainy pearls

Je creuserai la terre If die, from clouds I’ll travel the earth

jusqu'après ma mort Golden sphere of light Till I’ll I finally die
Pour couvrir ton corps Will flow to your hands To cover your body
d'or et de lumière And it will be I With a golden light

Je ferai un domaine I will make a land

Où l'amour sera roi, With Love in command
où l'amour sera loi You will be the King
Où tu seras reine I will be the Queen

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me Don’t abandon me

Je t'inventerai In my foolish mind For you I’ll invent
Des mots insensés I’ll dream up the words Loads of senseless words
Que tu comprendras Only you will know You will comprehend

Je te parlerai I’ll tell you about

De ces amants-là These two lovers who
Qui ont vu deux fois Had their tender hearts
leurs cœurs s'embraser embrace more than once Time and time again

Je te raconterai I’ll recount to you

l'histoire de ce roi How one mighty king
mort de n'avoir pas Died because he missed
pu te rencontrer The chance to meet you

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

On a vu souvent It’s not rare to see

Rejaillir le feu Old volcano’s fires
D'un ancien volcan Seemingly too old
Qu'on croyait trop vieux Reignite again

Il est, paraît-il It seems possible

Des terres brûlées That a land that’s scorched
Donnant plus de blé Would give richer crops
Qu'un meilleur avril Than the brightest spring

Et quand vient le soir When at dusk the flames

Pour qu'un ciel flamboie Envelope the sky
Le rouge et le noir The red and the black
ne s'épousent-ils pas? Don’t they tie the knot?

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Je ne vais plus pleurer I don’t want more tears
Je ne vais plus parler I don’t want more words
Je me cacherai là I’ll just hide right there It’s all right as is
Just show me a nook
À te regarder I could watch you dance Little nook right there
danser et sourire I could watch you smile
et À t'écouter I could hear you sing To see you sign and dance
chanter et puis rire And your laugher chime To

Laisse-moi devenir Just let me become

L'ombre de ton ombre A shadow of your shadow At the crack of dawn
L'ombre de ta main A shadow of your hand
L'ombre de ton chien A shadow of your dog

Mais… But…

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me

Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Ne me quitte pas Don’t abandon me
Moja nowa wersja Wersja z lat 1960-tych

Don’t abandon me, If you go away

every tear I shed On this summer's day
whispers all misdeeds Then you might as well
can be now released Take the sun away

Let’s forget what’s lost All the birds that flew

Devastating time In the summer sky
that was splitting us When our love was new
that was killing us And our hearts were high

And these questions now And the day was young

Prying, full of vile And the nights were long
How? For what? And how? And the moon stood still
Let’s forget them all For the night bird's song

Don’t abandon me If you go away

Don’t abandon me If you go away
Don’t abandon me If you go away
Don’t abandon me
But if you stay
On a rainy day I'll make you a day
I’ll bring from the lands Like no day has been
Where the skies don’t cry Or will be again
String of rainy pearls
We'll sail on the sun
If die, from clouds We'll ride on the rain
Golden sphere of light And talk to the trees
Will flow to your hands And worship the wind
And it will be I
But if you go
I will make a land I'll understand
With Love in command Leave me just enough love
You will be the King To fill up my hand
I will be the Queen
As I know you will
Don’t abandon me You must tell the world
Don’t abandon me To stop turning
Don’t abandon me 'til you return again
Don’t abandon me
If you ever do
Don’t abandon me For what good is love
In my foolish mind Without loving you?
I’ll dream up the words Can I tell you now
Only you will know
As you turn to go
I’ll tell you about I'll be dying slowly
These lovers who 'til the next hello
With their tender hearts
embraced more than once
I’ll recount to you
How one mighty king
Died because he missed
The chance to meet you
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
It’s not rare to see
Old volcano’s flames
Seemingly too old
Reignite again
It seems possible
That a land that’s scorched
Would give richer crops
Than the brightest spring
When at dusk the flames
Envelope the sky
The red and the black
Don’t they tie the knot?
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
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 won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye
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
And I'd been the shadow
Of your shadow
If you might have kept me
By your side

Don’t abandon me
I don’t want more tears
I don’t want more words
I’ll just hide right there

I could watch you dance

I could watch you smile
I could hear you sing
And your laugher chime

Just let me become

A shadow of your shadow
A shadow of your hand
A shadow of your dog

But…

Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me

Don’t abandon me,

every tear I shed
whispers all misdeeds
can be now released

Let’s forget what’s lost

Devastating time
that was splitting us
that was killing us

And these questions now

Prying, full of vile
How? For what? And how?
Let’s forget them all

Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me

On a rainy day
I’ll bring from the lands
Where the skies don’t cry
String of rainy pearls

If die, from clouds

Golden sphere of light
Will flow to your hands
And it will be I

I will make a land

With Love in command
You will be the King
I will be the Queen

Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me

Don’t abandon me
In my foolish mind
I’ll dream up the words
Only you will know

I’ll tell you about

These two lovers who
Had their tender hearts
embrace more than once
I’ll recount to you
How one mighty king
Died because he missed
The chance to meet you

Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
Don’t abandon me
