SHEENA EASTON
"If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)"
(Jacques Brel / Rod McKuen)

If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take this sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird song
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

But if you stay
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun
We'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees
And worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love
To hold in my hand
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit deja
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

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
Go, I won't cry
Though the good is gone
From the word goodbye
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away

If you go away
As I know you must
There'll be nothing left
In this world to trust
Just an empty room
Full of empty space
Like the empty look
I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow
Of your shadow
If I though it might
Have kept me by your side
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je n'vais plus pleurer
Je n'vais plus parler
Je me cacherai la
A te regarder
Dancer et sourire
Et a t'ecouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laiss'moi de venir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Please don't go away
