Ne me quitte pas Songtext

von Regina Spektor

Down in Paris
They lose their ballets and their lipped mouths in the night
And stumbling through the street
They say, Sir, do you got a light?
And if you do, then you're my friend
And if you don't, then you're my foe
And if you are a deity
Of any sort, then please don't go

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

Down on Lexington
They walk in new shoes
Stuck to aging feet, and
Close their eyes and open
And not recognize the aging street, and
Think about the things were right
When they were young and veins were tight, and
If you are the Ghost of Christmas Past
Then won't you stay the night?

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Oh, ooh, ooh
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

Down in Bronxy Bronx
The kids go sledding
Down snow-covered slopes, and
Frozen noses, frozen toes
The frozen city starts to glow, and
Yes, they know that it will pass
And, yes, they know New York will thaw, but
If you're a friend of any sort
Then play along and catch a cold

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

I love Paris in the rain
I love Paris in the rain
I love
I love
I love
In the rain
I love Paris in the rain
I love Paris in the rain
And I love
I love
I love
In the rain
I love
I love
I love
In the rain

Down in Paris
They walk fast
That is, unless they're walking slow, and
In cafés they look away
That is, unless they look right in, and
In the corners I get lost
That is, unless I'm getting found, and
If you are the ghost of New York City
Won't you stick around

Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas
Ah, ah, ah
Ne me quitte pas, mon cher
Ne me quitte pas

I love Paris in the rain
I love Paris in the rain
I love
I love
I love
In the rain
I love Paris in the rain
I love Paris in the rain
Man, I love
I love
I love in the rain
And I love
I love
I love in the rain...
I love
I love
In the rain
In the rain
Oh, I love
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain

Ne me quitte. pas!
Ne me quitte. pas!
Ne me quitte. pas!
