If You Go Away
If you go away
On this summer's 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 when the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird's song
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 malentedus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coup 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
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 thought it might
Have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas - go away
On this summer's 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 when the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird's song
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 malentedus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coup 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
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 thought it might
Have kept me by your side
If you go away
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas - go away
