Born to a large impoverished family, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the anglophone album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a temporary retirement from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
After performing in 25 countries during the Taking Chances World Tour which ended in February 2009 (one year after it began) she took another 2 year hiatus, focusing on expanding her family. After 6 in-vitro tries she gave birth to twin boys Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. In the meantime she announced her return to Vegas, her new show simply named "Céline" premièred on March 15th 2011 to spectacular reviews by media and audience.
Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is renowned for her technically skilled and powerful vocals. Dion is the best selling Canadian artist of all time; and her album D'eux is the best selling francophone album of all time. Dion is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Linda Lister describes Dion as a reigning Queen of Pop for her influence over the record industry during the 1990s. On a cultural level, Dion is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the globe. Dion is also credited for both revitalizing and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas with the gargantuan successes of her residencies there. She managed to re-popularize the Las Vegas "residency" as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. Over the years, fellow established icons such as Britney Spears, Elton John, Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Cher and Shania Twain followed suit.
Ne me quitte pas
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
À savoir comment
Qui tuaient parfois
À coups de pourquoi
Le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Moi je t'offrirai
Des perles de pluie
Venues de pays
Où il ne pleut pas
Je creuserai la terre
Jusqu'après ma mort
Pour couvrir ton corps
D'or et de lumière
Je ferai un domaine
Où l'amour sera roi
Où l'amour sera loi
Où tu seras roi
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Je t'inventerai
Des mots insensés
Que tu comprendras
Je te parlerai
De ces amants-là
Qui ont vu deux fois
Leurs cœurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
D'un ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brulées
Donnant plus de blé
Qu'un meilleur avril
Et quand vient le soir
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie
Le rouge et le noir
Ne s'épousent-ils pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Je ne vais plus pleurer
Je ne vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
À te regarder
Danser et sourire
Et à t'écouter
Chanter et puis rire
Laisse-moi devenir
L'ombre de ton ombre
L'ombre de ta main
L'ombre de ton chien
Mais
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
The lyrics of Celine Dion's song "Ne Me Quitte Pas" tell the story of a man pleading with his lover not to leave him. He urges her to forget the past disagreements and misunderstandings and to trust in their love. The man promises to offer her things that money cannot buy, such as pearls of rain from a land where it never rains, and to make a place where love will reign, and she will be his queen. He promises to invent nonsensical words that she will understand, to talk about the passion of other lovers, and to tell the tale of a king who died because he couldn't meet his beloved. The last verse takes a poignant turn, as the man confesses that, if she leaves him, he will no longer cry or talk but only gaze upon her from afar, becoming her shadow or that of her dog or her hand.

"Don't leave me
You need to forget
Everything can be forgotten
Already gone
Forgetting the time
Of misunderstandings
And the lost time
If only I knew how
To forget these hours
Which killed at times
With blows of why's
The heart of joy
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I would offer you
Pearls of rain
From countries
Where it never rains
I would dig the earth
Till after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I would make a kingdom
Where love would be king
Where love would be law
Where you would be king
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I would invent for you
Meaningless words
That you would understand
I would tell you
About those lovers
Who have seen twice
Their hearts kissing
I would tell you about
The story of this king
Dead for not having
Been able to meet you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
We have often seen
Fire spilt up again
From an ancient volcano
That was thought to be too old
It is, so it seems
Of burnt lands
Giving more wheat"

Giovanni Lyrics :
Do not leave me now
We must just forget
Yes, we can forget
All that’s flown beyond
Let’s forget the time
The misunderstands
And the wasted time
To find out how
To forget these hours
Which sometimes kill
The blows of why,
A heart full of joy.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from the lands
Where it never rains
I will cross the world
Till after my death
To cover your bosom
With gold and light
I will make a kingdom
where love will be king
Where love will be the law
Where you will be queen
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now,
Will invent for you
The insane words
That you’ll understand
And I will tell you
Of these lovers who
Were seen twice
With their hearts in blaze
I will say in detail
The story of this king
Dead, from having not
Encountered you.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
One often recalls
Flames light anew
From an old volcano
Thought to be too old.
It appears that
The scorched fields
Can give more corn
Than the best of springs.
And when evening comes
In this blazing sky
The red and the night
Marry nevermore.
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
Will hide somehow
Just to look at you
Dance and smile
And to hear you
Sing and then laugh
Let me be for you
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now
Do not leave me now

Don't leave me
It must be forgotten
Everything can be forgotten
Who already escaped
Forgetting the times
Of misunderstandings
And the lost time
To know how
To forget those hours
That were killing sometimes
By force of reason
The heart of well-being ( happiness)
Don't leave me
I will offer you
Pearls of rain
Coming from countries
Where it does not rain
I will dig the ground
Till after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I will make a field
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you will be queen
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I will invent for you
Words with no sense
That you will understand
I will tell you
About those lovers
Who saw two times
Their hearts hugging
I will tell you
The history of that king
Dead for not having
Been able to meet you
Don't leave me
We often saw
The fire rebounding
From the old volcano
That we thought it was too old
It seems it ( the volcano) is
From burned lands
Giving more grains
Than a better April
And when the evening comes
For a sky blazes
The red and the black
Don't get married
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 myself there
To watch you
Dancing and smiling
And 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.
I found this translation for you.It is not mine.

Alguém escreveu : uma das melhores interpretações dessa música ... Estás louco??? Essa é a melhor gravação dessa música! Simplesmente porque é perfeita e irretocável logo DEFINITIVA!!!!! assim como a ave Maria na voz da celine que também é outro registro histórico! Em suma jacques brell (compositor ) deve estar se revirando no túmulo ante algo tão sublime.❤🎉❤🎉
Martin Geeson
Admirably sung. She truly brought out the abjection of the lover dreading the loss of the beloved.
