Don't forget
Hindi Zahra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you sleep
Don't forget about me
When you leave
'Cause day after day
This love grows
And in so many ways
This love knows
Dying trying fighting
All this passion is burning
In me
And my tears are falling dropping
Can't stop this is what we call love
Love
Don't forget about me
When you say goodbye
Early in the morning
When you pass me by
Don't be a stranger
To my poor little heart
No
And don't let these tears
Fall again from my eyes
Now
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
Don't forget about me
No no no I tell you
You know where I lay down to sleep
And you know about all my dreams
When your hands are moving around me
I'm dying I'm trying I'm fighting
All this passion's inside me
Inside me
Inside me
Don't forget
Don't forget
Don't forget

French Paroles
Ne m'oublie pas, quand tu dors
Ne m'oublie pas, quand tu pars
Parce que jour après jour, cet amour grandit
Et à bien des égards, cet amour le sait
Comment va mon cœur, mourant en essayant de me battre
Toute cette passion en moi
Et mes larmes coulent
Je ne peux pas arrêter c'est ce que nous appelons l'amour, l'amour
[Refrain]
Alors ne m'oublie pas, non
Ne m'oublie pas, non
Ne m'oublie pas, na, na
[Verset 2]
Ne m'oublie pas, quand tu dis au revoir
Tôt le matin, quand vous passez devant moi
Ne sois pas étranger à mon pauvre petit cœur, petit cœur
Ne me laisse pas ici, et le temps passe
Ne me laisse pas debout ici, car le temps passe, pass
