-
Do not leave me.
-
We have to forget
-
all that can be forgotten,
-
that which has already passed:
-
to forget the times
-
of misunderstandings,
-
to forget the hours
-
that sometimes killed
-
the happiness of heart
-
each jab asking "why?".
-
(Just) don't leave me.
-
Don't leave me...
-
Do not leave me.
-
I could give you
-
pearls of the showers
-
that have come from lands
-
where it never rains.
-
I would dig the earth,
-
even after my death,
-
to cover your body
-
with gold and light.
-
I will make a world
-
where love will be king,
-
where love is the ruling law,
-
where you will be queen.
-
(Just) don't leave me.
-
Don't leave me...
-
Don't leave me.
-
I would invent
-
nonsensical words
-
that you will understand.
-
I will speak of these past lovers
-
who have twice seen
-
their hearts set on fire.
-
I will tell you the tale
-
of this king,
-
dead from never having
-
been able to meet you.
-
(Just) don't leave me.
-
Don't leave me...
-
Don't leave me.
-
One has often seen
-
spurts of fire
-
from an old volcano
-
once thought to be too old.
-
They even say that
-
burned lands yield more wheat
-
than the best April.
-
And when the evening comes,
-
in order for the sky to blaze,
-
the red and the black,
-
do they not marry together?
-
Don't leave me.
-
Don't leave me...
-
Don't leave me.
-
I don't want to cry anymore.
-
I don't want to talk anymore.
-
I will hide over there
-
to watch you
-
dance and smile,
-
and to hear you
-
sing and then laugh.
-
Let me become
-
the shadow of your shadow,
-
the shadow of your hand,
-
(even just) the shadow of your dog.
-
(Just) don't leave me.
-
Don't leave me...
