T'en va pas [English translation]

I couldn't find the words to keep you

But I'm thinking to myself

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

When I was talking a lot of nonsense

It wasn't my voice

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

In the darkest of summer, when the storm has fallen

The forests bloom again

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

If your heart and your body still remember

A last time

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

Love sometimes made fortresses fall down

Death sometimes made the living find themselves

My joy and my sadness, gone with the wind

Come back to me, you, I'm waiting for you

You, my bread, my sun, that stole my sleep

With you, give it back to me

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

If your heart and your body still remember

A last time

Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave, don't leave

And if my voice arrives there with you

Retrace your steps, your steps, your steps

Come back to me
