Si tu partais [English translation]

Our happiness is wonderful.

Our love is pleasing to God.

It is pure, it is clear

The clear river water.

My heart suffocates when you're there.

Do not touch all this!

If one day,

You broke our love,

If one day,

You were leaving forever

All would sink into the night.

Birds, in their nests,

Would not sing

Their distraught songs.

If one day,

You broke our love,

If one day,

You left without return,

Flowers would lose their fragrance

And that would be the end of all joy.

Stay with me.

Believe me, it's true:

I would die if you left.

To me, your eyes are much more beautiful

Than a moonbeam in water.

When you leave for a few moments,

It's like snow in spring.

You come back, you hold out your arms to me.

Do not touch all this!

If one day,

You broke our love,

If one day,

You were leaving forever

All would sink into the night.

Birds, in their nests,

Would not sing

Their distraught songs.

If one day,

You broke our love,

If one day,

You left without return,

Flowers would lose their fragrance

And that would be the end of all joy.

Stay with me.

Believe me, it's true:

I would die if you left!
