If You Go Away Songtext
von Thomas Dutronc

(Reprise en anglais 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 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 one has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun ride on the rain
Talk to the trees 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
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
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
