Lyrics

(Reprise anglaise d'une chanson de Jacques Brel)
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the 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 a night bird's 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 on the sun we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
And 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
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
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 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
If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Oh I would have been the shadow of your shadow
If it might have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
If you go away
