Translation of this beautiful Jacques Brel composition: Don’t leave me We must forget All can be forgotten That has already disappeared Forget the time Of misunderstandings And the wasted time To know how To forget these hours Which sometimes killed The blows of why, The heart of happiness Do not leave me Do not leave me Do not leave me Do not leave me I will give you Pearls of rain Coming from countries Where it doesn’t rain I will work the land Until after my death To cover your bosom With gold and light I will create an area Where love will be king Where love will be the law Where you will be queen Do not leave me Do not leave me Do not leave me Do not leave me Don’t leave me For you I will make up Incredible words That you’ll understand And I’ll tell you About lovers Who saw their Hearts embrace two twice I’ll tell you about The story of a king Who died from from having not been able to meet you you. Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me We’ve often seen Flames flowing from an Ancient volcano That one thought to be too old There exists, it seems Scorched fields That yield more wheat Than the best of April And when the evening comes A fiery sky The red and the black Do they not fuse together Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me I won’t cry anymore I won’t speak anymore Will hide Watching you Dancing and smiling And listening to you Singing and then laughing Let me become The shadow of your shadow The shadow of your hand The shadow of your dog Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me Don’t leave me
Translation of this beautiful Jacques Brel composition:
Don’t leave me
We must forget
All can be forgotten
That has already disappeared
Forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the wasted time
To know how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes killed
The blows of why,
The heart of happiness
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
I will give you
Pearls of rain
Coming from countries
Where it doesn’t rain
I will work the land
Until after my death
To cover your bosom
With gold and light
I will create an area
Where love will be king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be queen
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Do not leave me
Don’t leave me
For you I will make up
Incredible words
That you’ll understand
And I’ll tell you
About lovers
Who saw their
Hearts embrace two twice
I’ll tell you about
The story of a king
Who died from from having not
been able to meet you you.
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
We’ve often seen
Flames flowing from an
Ancient volcano
That one thought to be too old
There exists, it seems
Scorched fields
That yield more wheat
Than the best of April
And when the evening comes
A fiery sky
The red and the black
Do they not fuse together
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
I won’t cry anymore
I won’t speak anymore
Will hide
Watching you
Dancing and smiling
And listening to you
Singing and then laughing
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
Don’t leave me
