What is this song about? I don't know french, but it sounds a bit tragic.... Probably about love and passion and death... Am I right?

Don?t leave me now
We must just forget
All we can forget
All we did till now
Let?s forget the cost
Of the breath we?ve spent
Saying words unmeant
And the times we?ve lost
Hours that must destroy
Never knowing why
Everything must die
At the heart of joy
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now

I?ll bring back to you
The clear pearls of rain
From a distant domain
Where rain never fell
And though I grow old
I?ll keep mining the ground
To deck you around
In sunlight and gold
I?ll build you a desmene
Where love?s everything
Where love is the king
And you are the queen
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now

Don?t leave me now
For you I?ll invent
Words and what they meant
Only you will know
Tales of lovers who
Fell apart and then
Fell in love again
Since their hearts stayed true
There?s a story too
That I can confide
Of that king who died
From not meeting you
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now

And often it?s true
That flames spill anew
From ancient volcanos
We thought were too old
When all?s said and done
Scorched fields of defeat
Could give us more wheat
Than the fine April sun
And when evening is nigh
With flames overhead
The black and the red
Aren?t they joined in the sky?
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now

Don?t leave me now
I will cry no more
I will talk no more
Hide myself somehow
And I?ll see your smile
And I?ll see you dance
And I?ll hear you sing
Hear your laughter ring
Let me be for you
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The dog at your command
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now
Don?t leave me now

Yeah great. Make us all cry why don't ya!

Bah.

and no, I'm not crying, I am a champion black belt bodybuilder massive-schlonged ex-army sergeant.

*sniffle*

Have you heard Sting sing that song? It's pretty good! I love his sexy accent when he sings in French!

We storm ahead with swords'n shields
For victory we ride
We fight the world on these battlefields
To re-erect the pagan pride

We draw the blood of those in our way
It's 'victory or die
With pounding, raging fury we slay
Now christian hounds will pay

Charge ahead, no retreat
No merca, noone shall live
To us there is no defeat
No remorse to give

A wind of power blows from the north
The enemy shivers to the core
We slay with strength, pushing forth
Silence before the storm

The gates of Valhall open up
The ground beneath us shakes
As Oden leads the Gods to war
The Rainbow Bridge cracks

Nothing can stop this final attack
We carve up all in our path
Now there is no turning back
Final battle is here at last

A feast awaits us when we get back
Awaiting all that fought in wrath
By the long fires we sit in glory
Ande beer cools our soar throats

We are few but strong in will
The last with pagan blood
We fought the world with burning steel
Now we sit in Hall of Gods

Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts

but i dont speak french

Ehm, forget the translation I just posted. It takes a little too much artistic liberty with the original to be accurate.

Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts
Pride and glory in our hearts

that's true!

Glad to see that even "GFYers" like poetry

hmm... something tells me you posting this thread, is probably your same approach to getting laid.

which might be why you're still a virgin

hmm... something tells me you making this post, is probably your same approach to making jokes.

which might be why nobody ever laughs.

don't lie, you know you laughed.

I first heard the Rod McKuen version of this song, called "If You Go Away" in English. It was one of the first songs that I learned to play on guitar.

Here are the lyrics that McKuen penned for the melody:

A beautiful song in any language...
