If You Go Away

Dusty Springfield

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 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'enfuit deja 
Oublier le temps 
Des malentendus 
Et le temps perdu 
A savoir comment 
Oublier ces heures 
Qui tuaient parfois 
A 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 
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 

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'd have been the shadow of your shadow 
If it might have kept me by your side 

If you go away, if you go away, if you go away 

[spoken] Please don't go away!
