Ne me quitte pas -Paroles: Jacques Brel Ne me quitte pas Il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier Qui s'enfuit déjà Oublier le temps Des malentendus Et le temps perdu A savoir comment Oublier ces heures Qui tuaient parfois A coups de pourquoi Le cœur du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Moi je t'offrirai Des perles de pluie Venues de pays Où il ne pleut pas Je creuserai la terre Jusqu'après ma mort Pour couvrir ton corps D'or et de lumière Je ferai un domaine Où l'amour sera roi Où l'amour sera loi Où tu seras reine Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je t'inventerai Des mots insensés Que tu comprendras Je te parlerai De ces amants-là Qui ont vu deux fois Leurs cœurs s'embraser Je te raconterai L'histoire de ce roi Mort de n'avoir pas Pu te rencontrer Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas On a vu souvent Rejaillir le feu D'un ancien volcan Qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est paraît-il Des terres brûlées Donnant plus de blé Qu'un meilleur avril Et quand vient le soir Pour qu'un ciel flamboie Le rouge et le noir Ne s'épousent-ils pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je ne vais plus pleurer Je ne vais plus parler Je me cacherai là A te regarder Danser et sourire Et à t'écouter Chanter et puis rire Laisse-moi devenir L'ombre de ton ombre L'ombre de ta main L'ombre de ton chien Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas |
Don't leave me now -Translation: Des de Moor Don't leave me now We must just forget All we can forget All we did till now Let's forget the cost Of the breath we've spent Saying words unmeant And the times we've lost Hours that must destroy Never knowing why Everything must die At the heart of joy Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now I'll bring back to you The clear pearls of rain From a distant domain Where rain never fell And though I grow old I'll keep mining the ground To deck you around In sunlight and gold I'll build you a desmene Where love's everything Where love is the king And you are the queen Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now For you I'll invent Words and what they meant Only you will know Tales of lovers who Fell apart and then Fell in love again Since their hearts stayed true There's a story too That I can confide Of that king who died From not meeting you Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now And often it's true That flames spill anew From ancient volcanos We thought were too old When all's said and done Scorched fields of defeat Could give us more wheat Than the fine April sun And when evening is nigh With flames overhead The black and the red Aren't they joined in the sky? Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now I will cry no more I will talk no more Hide myself somehow And I'll see your smile And I'll see you dance And I'll hear you sing Hear your laughter ring Let me be for you The shadow of your shadow The shadow of your hand The dog at your command Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now |
