Ne Me Quitte Pas Lyrics in English L.E.J.

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ne Me Quitte Pas by L.E.J. from French to English.
Don't leave me
We must forget
Everything can be forgotten
That's already slipping away
Forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the time lost
Wondering how
Forget those hours
That sometimes killed
With blows of why
The heart of happiness
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I'll give you
Pearls of rain
From lands
Where it never rains
I'll dig the earth
Till after my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I'll make a realm
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you'll be queen
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I'll invent for you
Crazy words
That you'll understand
I'll talk to you
About those lovers
Who saw twice
Their hearts blaze up
I'll tell you
The story of that king
Who died from not
Being able to meet you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
We've often seen
Fire surge again
From the old volcano
We thought too old
It seems there are
Scorched lands
Giving more wheat
Than a better April
And when night comes
For a sky to blaze
Red and black
Don't they wed
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
I won't cry anymore
I won't talk anymore
I'll hide there
To watch you
Dance and smile
And to listen to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
But don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

SONG MEANING

Ne Me Quitte Pas is a heartfelt French ballad in which the singer clings to love with every ounce of imagination and devotion she has. From the very first line – "Don’t leave me" – we enter a dramatic plea that mixes regret over past misunderstandings with a fierce hope of starting anew. The narrator begs her partner to forget old mistakes and give their relationship another chance, promising a fresh world where love rules and joy is queen.

Throughout the song she paints dazzling pictures to prove her dedication: "pearls of rain from lands where it never rains," fields that bloom richer than spring, even the rebirth of a dormant volcano. These poetic vows grow more intense until she is willing to shrink her own existence just to stay close, content to be "the shadow of your shadow." The result is a moving portrait of raw vulnerability, showing how far a broken heart will go to keep love alive — a powerful lesson in both passion and the beauty of French expression.
