_Ne T'enfuis pas_ Lyrics

[nrc@cbema.att.com (Neal R Caldwell, Ii)]

Someone asked for the lyrics to _Ne T'enfuis pas_.   Here they are 
courtesy of Andrew Marvick.  Someone hoped that the title meant "My
Next Release Won't Cost $200."   Far from it, this song alone is 
proof that it's worth that much.  Here's another way to look at it: if
you bought the set only for the B-sides and you paid $180 for it, that's
$90 per CD.  That's six times the normal price for a CD.  I don't know
about you folks but I listen to my Kate CDs at least six times more
often than any other CD! :-)

Ne T'enfuis pas (Don't Fly Away)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 Je viens                               I am coming
 Comme un chat                          Like a cat
 Par la nuit si noire.                  Through the night so black.
 Tu attends,                            You are waiting,
 Et je tombe                            And I fall
 Dans tes ailes blanches, la-la-la...   Into your white wings, la-la-la...
 Et je vole,                            And I fly,
 Et je coule                            And I sink
 Comme une plume.                       Like a feather.

      Si les grands yeux de mon Dieu             If the great eyes of my God
      Ne me gardaient pas,                       Were not watching (over) me,
      Je te volerais                             I would steal you away.

 Ne t'enfuis pas!                       Don't fly away!
 Tu as des ailes,                       You have wings,
 Le pouvoir de me quitter.              The power to leave me.
 Tu es tombe                            You fell
 Du ciel comme un ange, la-la-la        From the sky like an angel, la-la-la
 Et j'ai peur                           And I'm afraid
 Que le ciel                            That the sky
 Te reprenne.                           Will take you back.

      Si les grands yeux de mon Dieu             If the great eyes of my God
      Ne me gardaient pas,                       Weren't watching (over) me,
      Je te volerais.                            I would steal you away.

 Je viens                               I am coming
 Comme un chat                          Like a cat
 Par la nuit si noire.                  Through the night so black.

           Je t'en prie,                                I beg you,
           Je t'en prie,                                I beg you,
           Je t'en prie,                                I beg you,
           Je t'en prie,                                I beg you,
           Je t'en prie,                                I beg you,
           Je t'en prie--                               I beg you--
           Ne t'enfuis                                  Don't fly
           Pas!                                         Away!
