About the song
Henry Padovani: "I used to live in Amsterdam. And I remember one day being in a 'brown bar' and hearing that song sung by Jacques Brel in the Flemish language. And people were totally inspired by it. It struck me that Jacques Brel, who I had then only heard sing in French, was not only a poet for the beautiful words he put together but also for the deep meaning they conveyed. That is true poetry. The English version is too sentimental and doesn't carry the desperation Jacques Brel implied in the song."

Lyrics
Ne me quitte pas il faut oublier Tout peut s'oublier qui senfuit déjà Oublier le temps des malentendus Et le temps perdu à savoir comment Oublier ces heures qui tuaient parfois A coups de pourquoi le cœur du bonheur Ne me quitte pas Moi je t'offrirai des perles de pluie Venues de pays où il ne pleut pas Je creuserai la terre jusqu'après ma mort Pour couvrir ton corps d'or et de lumière Je ferai un domaine où l'amour sera roi Où l'amour sera loi, où tu seras reine Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas je t'inventerai des mots insensés Que tu comprendras, je te parlerai De ces amants là qui ont vu deux fois Leur cœur s'embraser Je te raconterai l'histoire de ce roi mort de n'avoir pas Te raconterai Ne me quitte pas On a vou souvent rejaillir le feu De l'ancien volcan qu'on croyait trop vieux Il est, paraît-il, des terres brulées donnant plus de blé Qu'un meilleur avril Et quand vient le soir pour qu'un ciel flamboie Le rouge et le noir ne s'épousent ils pas Ne me quitte pas Ne me quitte pas Je ne vais plus pleurer Je ne vais plus parler Je me cacherai là à te regarder Danser et sourire et à t'écouter Chanter et puis rire Laisse-moi devenir l'ombre de ton ombre L'ombre de ta main l'ombre de ton chien Ne me quitte pas
