1/1

Dont leave me nowWe must just forgetAll we can forgetAll we did till nowLets forget the costOf the breath weve spentSaying words unmeantAnd the times weve lostHours that must destroyNever knowing whyEverything must dieAt the heart of joyDont leave me nowDont leave me nowDont leave me now

Ill bring back to youThe clear pearls of rainFrom a distant domainWhere rain never fellAnd though I grow oldIll keep mining the groundTo deck you aroundIn sunlight and goldIll build you a desmeneWhere love is everythingWhere love is the kingAnd you are the queenDont leave me nowDont leave me nowDont leave me now

Dont leave me nowFor you Ill inventWords and what they meantOnly you will knowTales of lovers whoFell apart and thenFell in love againSince their hearts stayed trueThere is a story tooThat I can confideOf that king who diedFrom not meeting youDont leave me nowDont leave me now

Dont leave me now

And often its trueThat flames spill anewFrom ancient volcanosWe thought were too oldWhen all is said and doneScorched fields of defeatCould give us more wheat

Than the fine April sunAnd when evening is nighWith flames overheadThe black and the redArent they joined in the sky?Dont leave me nowDont leave me nowDont leave me now

Dont leave me nowI will cry no moreI will talk no moreHide myself somehowAnd Ill see your smileAnd Ill see you danceAnd Ill hear you singHear your laughter ringLet me be for youThe shadow of your shadowThe shadow of your handThe dog at your commandDont leave me nowDont leave me nowDont leave me now

Ne me quitte pas Don\'t leave meIl faut oublier it \'s necessary to forgetTout peut s\'oublier everything you need to forgetQui s\'enfuit deja which is already overOublier le temps forget the timesDes malentendus of the misunderstandingsEt le temps perdu the lost timeA savoir comment to know how

Oublier ces heures forget the houresQui tuaient parfois which sometimes killA coups de pourquoi the reasons whyLe coeur du bonheur the heart full of joy

Ne 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 me

Moi je t\'offrirai I offer youDes perles de pluie pearles of rainVenues de pays coming from countries

Ou il ne pleut pas where it never rainsJe creus\'rai la terre I will cross the worldJusqu\' apres ma mort untillafter my deathPour couvrir ton corps for to cover your bodyD\'or et de lumiere; with gold and bright light

Je f\'rai un domaine I will give you a kingdomOu l\'amour s \'ra roi where LOVE will be kingOu l\'amour s\' ra loi Where LOVE will be the lawou tu serais reine and where you will be queen

Ne 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 me
