Nina Simone:
"The world's going wild. Money make people go wild. I'm lucky to live in France today, far away from the United States... Anyway, it's not surprising that Michael Jackson, the man I love the most in this world, has left the USA. [...] I love this kid and I cried all day when I thought he was not going to make it."
1996

"Le monde est en train de devenir fou. L'argent rend les gens fous. J'ai de la chance de vivre en France aujourd'hui, loin des Etats-Unis... D'ailleurs, ça n'est pas surprenant que Michael Jackson, l'homme que j'aime le plus au monde, ait quitté les Etats-Unis.[...] J'adore ce gosse et j'ai pleuré des journées entières quand j'ai cru qu'il n'allait pas s'en sortir."

Song: Ne me quitte pas (sung Nina Simone, wrote by Jacques Brel)
Lyrics:
NE ME QUITTE PAS

Ne me quitte pas
Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier
Qui s'enfuit déjà
Oublier le temps
Des malentendus
Et le temps perdu
A savoir comment
Oublier ces heures
Qui tuaient parfois
A coups de pourquoi
Le coeur du bonheur
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
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
Ne me quitte pas
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
Leurs coeurs s'embraser
Je te raconterai
L'histoire de ce roi
Mort de n'avoir pas
Pu te rencontrer
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
On a vu souvent
Rejaillir le feu
De l'ancien volcan
Qu'on croyait trop vieux
Il est paraît-il
Des terres brûlées
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
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas

Ne me quitte pas
Je n'vais plus pleurer
Je n'vais plus parler
Je me cacherai là
A 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
Mais Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas
Ne me quitte pas.

Equivalent (english) :
IF YOU GO AWAY

If you go away, on this summers day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay,
I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go,
I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away If you go away, as I know you will You must tell the world to stop turning till
You return again, if you ever do
For what good is love without loving you
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly till the next hello
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay
I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
But if you go I won't cry
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
If you go away as I know you must
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room full of empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
I'd have been the shadow of your dog
If I thought it might have kept me by your side
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

  • It's not Michael Jackson it's Nina Simone!

  • @JasonDuvalTenis I DIDNT say it was sung by Michael Jackson. Read the description : "Song: Ne me quitte pas (sung by Nina Simone, wrote by Jacques Brel)"

  • The title is misleading, it should be "Michael Jackson Tribute- Ne Me Quitte Pa," however it is a very nice version by Nina Simone and the inclusion of the french and english subtitles was very thoughtful, so thank you!

  • @mkucheza ...i changed the title, i didn't come on my mind that people could think it was sung by MJ, cause it was obvious to me that it's not the case... anyway thanks for your comment

  • Nina Simone

  • @gralikgralik oui en effet c'est nina simone. O.o

see all
