Ne Me Quitte Pas
Violet Indiana Lyrics

If you go away
The singer does not want their love interest to leave.

On this summer day
The time feels significant, and perhaps the end of a relationship.

Then you might as well
If the love interest leaves, everything good will go with them.

Take the sun away
The love interest takes away all happiness from the artist.

All the birds that flew
Reminiscing about better times in the relationship.

In the summer sky
Specifically, those times occurred during the summer, a happy season.

When our love was new
During the honeymoon period of the relationship.

And our hearts were high
Feeling elated and happy with each other.

When the day was young
A metaphor for the beginning of the relationship, when everything was fresh and new.

And the night was long
A metaphor for the depth and intensity of their love for each other.

And the moon stood still
Their love was so strong that even nature seemed to freeze in its beauty.

For the night-bird's song
Their love brought beauty to even the simplest things in life.

But if you stay
The singer is begging the love interest to stay in the relationship.

I'll make you a day
The singer promises to create a special day for them.

Like no day has been
The singer wants to create a unique and special memory with the love interest.

Or will be again
This experience will be one of a kind and irreplaceable.

We will sail the sun
Together they will tackle anything in life, experiencing new and exciting things.

We will ride on the rain
Together they can handle the hardships of life, and turn them into something beautiful.

We will talk to the trees
In each other's company, they can find joy and beauty even in the mundane things.

And worship the wind
The artist cherishes every moment with the love interest, and values every moment of their life together.

Then if you go
Even if the love interest leaves, the artist promises to understand.

I'll understand
The artist will not be angry or bitter, but will respect the love interest's decision.

Leave me just enough love
The singer wants a small gesture of affection to remember the relationship by.

To hold in my hand
A physical symbol of the love they shared and now must let go of.

Il faut oublier
It is necessary to forget.

Tout peut s'oublier
Everything can be forgotten.

Qui s'enfuit d?
What slips away?

Oublier le temps
Forget about the past.

Des malentendus
Their past misunderstandings.

Et le temps perdu
The time they wasted in arguments and disagreements.

A savoir comment
Trying to figure out what went wrong.

Oublier ces heures
Forget about those times when they were not happy.

Qui tuaient parfois
Those times they felt like their unhappiness was unbearable.

A coups de pourquoi
Asking why things could not be better.

Le coeur do bonheur
A metaphor for the happiness that their love had once brought them.

Ne me quitte pas
Do not leave me.

But if you stay
The second plea for the love interest to stay with the singer.

I'll make you a night
The singer promises that staying will lead to a romantic and special experience.

Like no night has been
It will be a special memory for both of them.

Or will be again
This experience cannot be replicated or replaced.

I'll sail on your smile
The artist wants to enjoy every moment they have together.

I'll ride on your touch
They will cherish all their physical moments together.

I'll talk to your eyes
The singer wants to connect on a deeper level with the love interest.

That I love so much
Expressing the depth of their feelings for the love interest.

Then if you go
Once again understanding that the love interest may leave.

I'll understand
The artist will deal with the situation calmly and with no bitterness.

Leave me just enough love
Asking for one last, small sign of affection to remember the person by.

To hold in my hand
The artist wants a physical reminder of the person they loved.

If you go away
Another plea for the love interest to not leave.

Oh if you go away
Elevating the significance of the love interest leaving.

If you go away
A repetition of the same plea, showing desperation.

As I know you must
The artist realizes that eventually the love interest will leave.

There'll be nothing left
The artist feels that without the love interest, nothing will matter anymore.

In this world to trust
The singer has lost all faith in the world without the love interest.

Just an empty room
A visual representation of the void that the love interest's departure will create in the singer's life.

Full of empty space
The feeling of emptiness will be suffocating for the artist.

Like the empty look
The love interest's face will remind the artist of the emptiness they feel.

I'll see on your face
The love interest's face will serve as a constant reminder of what the artist has lost.

Oh I'd live in the shadow
The singer would be willing to live a life where they are constantly reminded of the love interest.

Of your shadow
Wishing to be close to the love interest's presence, even if it is just a shadow.

Please don't go away
A final plea for the love interest to not leave.
