inspired by Jacques Brel "ne me quitte pas" - the first verse and a few other bits are my translation
don't leave me never abandon me I'll build a domain where love is king and you are queen
..as i strummed alone i felt you that pure sense of harmony we were one one by one strings sifted slowly between my thumb and fingers soft sounds sang out each arpeggio, each pluck of a string each sigh each hum seeping deeply into melody and love
don’t leave me never forget me you will remember what became though thought escapes sometimes you won’t recall the bad times of misunderstanding knowing how to forget the hours which murdered you at times for all the why fors the questions you hear only the heart at the core of the hour of our happiness don’t leave me now
-if you are to go away i may never smile again and have no more memory of the light the life the beauty which you let me perceive with one loving look from your eyes if you go away i’ll die inside if you go away i’ll cry if you go my mind will be spliced awaiting the return of half its function but i’ll still smile as i wave goodbye
..how can i be free when i can’t lose you in my mind you’re always somewhere there subconsciously sensorily perceived by me when will i be free when i find you or let you come and find me then will i fly what will become
i offer you rain pearls from faraway places where rain never falls i have voyaged and excavated the earth from birth until death searching for you, waiting to discover you, to cover you, to shower you with my golden rays of light and life i’m building an empire where love is king and you will be queen never leave me my queen don’t leave me now
-if you go away how will i know whether its night or day how will i know the sun still shines if you go away, i shan’t see a flower grow, a child smile nor hear a baby cry for you are everything to me you are my souls smile if you go away i’ll wait and wait until you return and that day i’ll be again the light in your eyes
..you pull away my many veils and reveal a shining new face shining with the mirror’s gleam the reflected essence of you you pull down walls which were built by years of hurt and shame you pull down all the clouds from the sky to cushion and console me as you caress me in your dreams
-if you leave me where will i be some kind of pergatory some kind of prison cell waiting for you don’t leave me please id love it if you stayed
don’t leave me, wait, i’ll invent insensible incredible words which only you can comprehend i’ll talk of the lovers the ones we once saw as their hearts embraced caressed united i’ll entertain you with thoughts and dreams i’ll story tell the histories of that king who wouldn’t couldn’t let death take him before he could meet you before he could hold you before he could have you his queen he is waiting
..does he know that he is waiting is he aware of what its for does he feel it deeply within his soul this longing this yearning waiting for someone to teach him something he’s never felt before waiting for someone to fill his world, make his life whole love
-my love if you go away i’ll never smell the fragrance of flowers and spices wafting upon the air i’ll never notice the rains coming, i won’t see dark clouds forming i won’t feel this love that i have that i give you that i need and you might as well tell the sun stop shining the birds stop singing stop the earth’s rotations and the rolling of the oceans stop time if you go away my heart will falter on the second hand will clap on the wrong beat my heart will miss the touch the overwhelming soothing vibration as your heart beats inside mine our rythms unite in unison oneness wondrous harmonies our love songs
sometimes we’ve seen the flames recoil then splutter out, escaping from mouths of ancient volcanos long thought inactive as ashes spark and lava slides the earth is burnt orange brown black the sky filled with soot filled rain.. white paper-like powder dissolves on our skins so we feel we’ll never get clean a burnt singed smell clouding our senses in this air that we share we must remember we must be aware and care for this place so that seasons will pass the earth shall renew and the giving will be blessed for spring will still be fresh and when the night comes we’ll see the flaming skies in red and black, pink and mandarin flaming intensity, burning bright for all to see
..so don’t leave me now not with this this vision, this dream, this love i have to share i have so much to give you and learn from you i’m sure i have so much i need to give and i need to know i need to love i’m ready for you i’m ready to love but sometimes scared of broken chains that should be molten flowing love not cold twisted metals chains that shouldn’t bind with fear or control love chains of two souls i need you to be good and true and wise i need you to laugh, to love, to care to understand what you can of me or just to grow in, dance in, shine on in my love
don’t leave me i haven’t wept enough with the wanting of you i haven’t said enough to make you mine forever i’m sitting back here where you can’t quite see watching you a dream, begin and smile and listening to you as you sing deeply from your smile let me become the shadow of your shadow in endless nights of loving the hand in your hand as we walk side by side the meaning in your smile let me make you smile forever let me mirror your soul let me love you don’t leave me don’t abandon me not now i’ll build a domain where i am king and you are queen and love is all around
-if you leave me i will pay with what’s left of my earthly life i will continue to seek you out with songs and poems and love for only you in my eyes if you leave me a part of me will die but if you stay i will love you with loving never seen never been kissed by a soul like this one who loves with pure essence our spirits will swim on waves of love our thoughts will talk without speaking our hearts will meld and beat as one our souls will fly higher than we’ve ever been i’ll love you through the days and nights until you and i breath our last loving breath one spirit one love pure love love one
