If you go away / Ne me quitte pas [Turkish translation]

If you go away on this summer 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 the night bird's song.

If you go away, if you go away.

If you go away, I know you will

But you must tell the world to stop turning to you

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 gonna be dying slowly till the next "hello",

If you go away, baby, if you go away.

But if you stay, i'll make you a night

Like nobody has been, or will be again.

I'll sail on your smile, girl I'll ride on your touch,

I'll talk to your eyes, baby, that I love such.

If you go, go, I won't cry,

Though the good is gone from the word "goodbye",

If you go away, hey woman, go away.

If you go away, I know you must,

There'll be nothing left in this world to trust,

Just an empty room, full of empty space,

Like the empty look I can see on your face.

I'd have been the shadow of your dog

If I thought it might have kept me by your side,woman,

If you go away, baby, if you go away...
