Ne me quitte pas av Jacques Brel.
Dette er en EKTE kjærlighetssang, ikke noe wannabe tiss (selv om Brel sier selv at den ikke handler om kjærlighet, men om menneskers feighet). Skjekk innlevelsen da!
Oversettelse jeg fant på SongMeanings:

Do not leave me
One must forget
that which is bygone
Everything can be forgotten -
Forget the instances
of misunderstandings
and of the moments lost
Knowing how to
forget the hours
that sometimes killed
the very heart of happiness
- with all their Why’s.
Do not leave me. (4x)

I will offer you
pearls made of raindrops,
found in countries where it never rains.
I will traverse the Earth,
until after I’m gone,
only to cover your body
with gold and with sunlight
I will establish a kingdom
where Love will be king,
where Love will rule,
and you will be Queen
Do not leave me (4x)

Do not leave me
I will invent for you
nonsensical words
which only you will understand
I will tell you stories
about the lovers
whose hearts have been
twice ablaze,
and of that king
who died for not having met you
Do not leave me (4x)

One has often seen
a fire erupting
out an ancient volcano,
thought to be extinct
And it seems
that a scorched earth
could give more wheat
than in the best of springs
And when the evening falls
do the red and the black not unite
in order for sky to be set aflame?
Do not leave me (4x)

Do not leave me
I will no longer cry
I will no longer talk
I will just hide where
I can look at you
dance and smile,
and listen to you
sing and then laugh
Let me become
the shadow of your shadow
the shadow of your hand
the shadow of your dog
Do not leave me. (4x)
