Don’t leave me 

We must forget 

Everything can be forgotten 

Which is already past 

Forget the times 

Of misunderstandings 

And the lost time 

To know how 

To forget those moments 

Which sometimes killed 

- with constant ‘whys’ – 

The heart of happiness 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 



I will give you 

Pearls of rain 

Which have come from countries 

Where it doesn’t rain 

I will keep digging the earth 

Until after my death 

To cover your body 

With gold and light 

I will make a domain 

Where love will be king 

Where love will be law 

Where love will be queen 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 



Don’t leave me 

I will invent for you 

Crazy words 

That you will understand 

I will talk to you 

Of those lovers 

Who have twice seen 

Their hearts set ablaze 

I will tell you 

The story of the king 

Dead from 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 

Spurt forth 

The fire of an ancient volcano 

That one thought too old 

It appears that 

Burnt earth 

Gives more wheat 

Than the best April 

And when the evening comes 

So that the sky blazes 

Red and black 

Don’t they become one? 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 



Don’t leave me 

I’m not going to cry any more 

I’m not going to talk any more 

I will hide there 

Watching you 

Dance and smile 

Listening to you 

Sing and then laugh 

Let me become 

The shadow of your shadow 

The shadow of your hand 

The dog at your command 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me 

Don’t leave me
