T'en vas pas maintenant [English translation]

Don't leave now.

Choose another day.

I really don't have time now.

I'm really in a hurry.

Besides, have you looked outside?

You're gonna catch a storm.

There's a transport strike.

There are many traffic jams.

We won't leave on a Sunday,

and I don't care if it's a Tuesday.

There are risks, avalanches,

and moreover, I don't feel like it.

Don't leave now.

There are things to be fixed,

devices to be emptied.

You can even pretend.

Look, you're not done

with your pile of books.

And precisely today, why

are you not taking longer in the bath?

And first of all, I no longer have keys.

I don't know what I did with them anymore.

Ever since I've caught all your weird ideas,

I lose everything, I don't know what is with me.

I'm telling you, don't leave today.

There are many days for that.

What has this one done to you?

What if you wait tomorrow?

And what will you do outside

without your walls, with no roof?

If you change of scenery,

it's gonna be me who is without you.

I promise I'll make an effort.

You won't recognise me.

I know quite well when you leave.

It starts getting cold in here.

Oh, don't leave now.

Stay for a while longer.

Thirty years will be enough.

I don't need to exaggerate.

You may leave one day

but only if you come back at night,

if you always come back,

but don't leave today.

Don't leave now.

Not now.
