If you go away, on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

Ne me quitte pas, il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps des malentendus
Et le temps perdu à savoir comment
Oublier ces heures qui tuaient parfois 
À coups de pourquoi le cœur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas, ne me quitte pas 

But if you stay I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
