Translation

Don’t Leave Me

Don’t leave me, we can forget

Everything can be forgotten; look, it’s gone already

Forget the times of misunderstanding

And the time we lost, not knowing how (to)

Forget these hours that sometimes killed,

With whys and wherefores, the heart of happiness

Don’t leave me

I will give you some drops of rain

From a land where it never rains

I will plunder the earth until the day I die

To clothe your body in gold and light

I will create a realm where love will be king,

Where love will be law, and you shall be (its) queen

Don’t leave me

I’ll invent for you silly words

That you will understand

And speak them to you, of such lovers

Who have twice seen

Their hearts set on fire

I will recount to you the story of a king

Who died because he wasn’t able to meet you

Don’t leave me

We have often seen the fire spark back up

From the old volcano that we thought too old

There are burnt lands

Giving more wheat than a perfect April

And when the evening comes and the skies are ablaze

Are not the red and the black married?

Don't leave me

I will not cry anymore

I will not say any more

I'll just hide here and watch you

Dancing and smiling while listening to you

Singing and then laughing

Let me become

The shadow of your shadow

The shadow of your hand

The shadow of your dog

Don't leave me
