Ne Me quitte pas by Jacques Brel

Please don't leave, not now
forget it all
you can you know
it's already flown
forget about being
misunderstood
time lost, what went wrong
can't work it out, it's no good
Please don't leave, not now
please don't leave, not now
Do not leave, please not now

I will offer you
pearls of rain
from the desert's heart
where it's never rained
for you i'll dig the earth
until my final night
to cover you
in gold and in light
please don't leave, not now
i will tell the tale
of parted lovers'
only touch
i'll tell you of
the king who died
longing to
meet you so much
Please don't leave, not now
please don't leave, not now
Do not leave, please not now

We've often seen
flames bursting out
from volcanoes that
they thought were burnt out
and we've heard speak
of lands without rain
harvesting over
again and again
and evening will come
the sky'll erupt
red mixing with black
will swallow us up
Please don't leave, not now
please don't leave, not now
Do not leave, please not now

Please don't leave, not now
i'll weep no more
i'll shut up now
and go hide away
watch you dance and smile
list'ning to you
sing and laugh awhile
please let me become
the shadow of
your shadow
submerged in your love
Please don't leave, not now
please don't leave, not now
Do not leave, please not now
