CD: ''The Art of Flying'' Sitar Voice and Piano
by Christian Tatonetti
Please don't leave me
We must forget.
Anything can be forgotten,
Which is already fleeing.
To forget the times
Of our misunderstandings,
And the time we lost,
Trying to know how
To forget all those hours,
Which sometimes have killed
With damaging and pounding ''why's''
The heart of our loving bliss

Please don't leave me (4 times)

I shall offer you
Many pearls of rain,
That came from countries,
where rain never falls.
I will dig the ground
Until long after my death,
To cover your body
With gold and light.
I will build a kingdom,
Where love will be king
Where love will rule.
Where you shall be queen.

Please don't leave me (4 times)

Please don't leave me,
I will invent for you
Words without sense,
Whose meaning you will grasp.
I will speak to you
Of these two lovers,
Who have seen twice, their hearts
burst with love's fire.
I will tell you
The tale of a king,
Who died from never
being able to meet you.

Please don't leave me. (4 times)

We have seen on many occasions
Erupt with a new life, the fire
Of an ancient volcano,
That was believed too old.
Apparently, there are
Some burnt lands
Giving more wheat,
Than a best April.
And when comes the evening,
For a sky to dance like a flame,
The red and the black
Shall never become the same.

Please don't leave me (4 times)

Please don't leave me.
I will not cry anymore.
I will not say anything.
I will just hide near you.
To look at you,
Dance and smile.
And to listen to you
sing and laugh.
Let me become
Your shadow's shadow.
The shadow of your hand.
The shadow of your dog... (L'ombre de ton chien)

Please don't leave me (4 times)
