If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas) Songtext
von Dusty Springfield

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 the 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
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 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 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
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

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
Oh, I'd 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

Please, don′t go away
