A supreme piece skated by Stephane Lambiel, choreographed for a chanson of Jacques Brel.
Ne me quitte pas If you go away
Il faut oublier I have to forget
Tout peut s'oublier All the things I can
Qui s'enfuit deja Things already gone away
Oublier le temps To forget our times
Des malentendus Of misunderstanding
Et le temps perdu Our times lost
A savoir comment To know how
Oublier ces heures To forget these hours
Qui tuaient parfois With an wanton blow
A coups de pourquoi Coincidentaly can kill
Le coeur du bonheure Our heart of happiness
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois) So don't go away
Moi je t'offrirai I would offer you
Des perles du pluie Pearls made of rain
Venues de pays came from the country
Ou il ne pleut pas Where never rain falls
Je creuserai la terre I should cruise on the earth
Jusqu'apres ma mort Even after my death
Pour couvrir ton corps Searching for your corpse
D'or et de lumiere Of golden and light
Je ferai un domaine I would make a kingdom
Ou l'amour sera roi Where love is the king
Ou l'amour sera loi Where love is the law
Ou tu seras reine And you are the queen
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois) So don't go away
Ne me quitte pas Don't go away
Je t'inventerai I would invent
Des mots insensés The words without sense
Que tu comprendras That you can only understand
Je te parlerai I would tell you
De ces amants là About these lovers
Qui ont vu deux fois Just saw each other two times
Leurs coeurs s'embraser had their souls entangled
Je te racont'rai I would talk to you
L'histoire de ce roi The story of the king
Mort de n'avoir pas Dies before having
Pu te rencontrer The chance to meet you
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois) So don't go away
On a vu souvent Sometimes they saw
Rejaillir le feu Too ancient a volcano
De l'ancien volcan Supposed to be dead
Qu'on croyait trop vieux Blasting the fire
Il est paraît-il It resembles
Des terres brûlées The burned out land
Donnant plus de blé Could give more of wheat
Qu'un meilleur avril Than that of April
Et quand vient le soir And when the evening comes
Pour qu'un ciel flamboie For a sky to flaming up
Le rouge et le noir With red and black
Ne s'épousent-ils pas Who can never marry
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois) So don't go away
Ne me quitte pas Don't go away
Je ne veux plus pleurer I don't want to cry any more
Je ne veux plus parler I don't want to speak any more
Je me cacherai là Rather I would hide
A te regarder To watch you
Danser et sourire Dance and smile
Et à t'écouter To hear you
Chanter et puis rire Sing and laugh
Laisse-moi devenir Let me become
L'ombre de ton ombre The shadow of your shadow
L'ombre de ta main The shadow of your hand
L'ombre de ton chien The shadow of your dog
Ne me quitte pas (4 fois) So don't go away
When they are conjoined, their relationship is physically, spiritually, so intense, intimate and hurtful that no one seems to come across between them... like they are eternal soul mates.
After watching this, I felt like I could not be completed without conjoined other half and doomed to be alone...
- Mood:
naughty
Slowly but steadily I'm becoming obsessed with Sebastian Flyte of the movie"Brideshead Revisited".
(And this is a sneak preview of my entry on our magazine "New Bohemians")
Because....
"He was magically beautiful, with that epicene quality which in extreme youth sings aloud for love and withers at the first cold wind."
He wanted impossible Arcadia:
"If only it could be like this always
Always summer
Always alone
Fruits always ripe"But deep down, he knew he would fail:
"I should like to bury something precious in everywhere I've been happy.
And then, when I was old and ugly and miserable,
I could come back and dig it up and remember."
And he was exquisitely "contra mundum":
"Its naughtiness was high in the catalogue of grave sins."
So, inevitably was going to destroy himself.
After loosing his youth, beauty, wealth, and health, he seemed to find his inner sanctuary and reach his own divinity which transcends mere religion.
Wow, I should write a fan fiction or something!
