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 nightbird'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'enfouit déjà Oublier le temps des malentendus Et le temps perdu, à savoir comment Oublier ces heures qui touent et parfois À coup de beaucroi, le cœur de 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 to hold in my hand 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 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, please don't go away
