Don't Go Away
Jacques Sauveur Jean Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve looked for you
In vain, I've wanted to be with you
Just for one night of love
Forgive me if you can
′Cause you know how I feel
When you are not around

Don't go away

Tell me once that you love me
If I must leave
Then you should know that I love you

And I need your body
And your beautiful hair
To warm my heart
And I need your soul
The gleam in your eyes
To shine on my path

Don't go away
Tell me again you love me
If I must leave
Then you should know that I love you

Forget about my love
If it makes you cry
Forget about my heart
I know I will survive

Forget about my love
If it makes you cry
Forget about our dreams
And say yes to your life
To your life, to your life

And I need your body
And your beautiful hair
To warm my heart
And I need your soul
The gleam in your eyes
To shine on my path

Don′t go away
Tell me again you love me
If I must leave
Then you should know that I love you

Forget about my love (sh-sh)
If it makes you cry (shine)
Forget about my dreams (sh)
And say yes to your life (sh-shine)
To your life, to your life

Hey, say yes to your life
Regain your destiny
And may your star shine until the end of time
Eh, eh, say yes to your life
Regain your destiny
And may your star shine until the end of time

Je t′ai cherché un jour
J'ai voulu t′épouser
Pour une nuit d'amour
Pardonne-moi si tu veux
Car j′ai le mal de vivre
Quand ça marche à l'envers

J′ai besoin de ta peau
Et de tes longs cheveux
Pour réchauffer mon cœur
J'ai besoin de ton âme
La lumière de tes yeux
Pour éclairer mes pas

Ne t'en va pas
Ne t′en va pas
Ne t′en va pas
Ne t'en va pas

Ne t′en va pas
Ne t'en va pas
