Oh leave the curtains drawn
And don’t bother staying onLet me pretend that I’m not myself
For a little while, seeThen I’m back on my feetIn the same old skin I know so well
Oh leave me in my little tuneI promise I’ll be back soon
Oh it’s hard to get byWhen you’re afraid to crySo you close your lips and cast your eyes down
You’ve got so much to tell
And so much to yellSo why do you whisper still
Will you tell me if you get boredAnd you don’t feel like staying anymore
Oh and everytime you’re hereNo I don’t want you near,But I can’t take it when you’re gone
So leave me for a while
But leave me with a smileSo that I know you’ll be back for more
Oh please be patient with meThis is not how I wanted to be

Oh I’ll always be there
To show you that I careBut I’m just not very good with words
So I hope you’ll understand
That a squeeze of my hand
Means that I’m all yours
Oh please be patient with me
This is not how I wanted to be

And will you tell me if you get boredAnd you don’t feel like staying anymore

Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises
Et gai rossignol et merle moqueur
Seront tous en fête
Les belles auront la folie en tête
Et les amoureux du soleil au cœur
Quand nous chanterons le temps des cerises
Sifflera bien mieux le merle moqueur

Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises
Où l'on s'en va deux cueillir en rêvant
Des pendants d'oreilles
Cerises d'amour aux robes pareilles
Tombant sous la feuille en gouttes de sang
Mais il est bien court le temps des cerises
Pendants de corail qu'on cueille en rêvantQuand vous en serez au temps des cerises
Si vous avez peur des chagrins d'amour
Evitez les belles
Moi qui ne crains pas les peines cruelles
Je ne vivrai point sans souffrir un jour
Quand vous en serez au temps des cerises
Vous aurez aussi des peines d'amourJ'aimerai toujours le temps des cerises
C'est de ce temps-là que je garde au cœur
Une plaie ouverte
Et Dame Fortune, en m'étant offerte
Ne pourra jamais fermer ma douleur
J'aimerai toujours le temps des cerises
Et le souvenir que je garde au cœur

English translation :
Cherry Time
When we will sing of the cherry timeAnd gay nightingale and mocking blackbirdWill all be happy as locksThe fair ladies will have folly in mindAnd lovers sunshine in their heartsWhen we will sing of the cherry timeThe mocking blackbird will chirp even better
But it’s quite short, the cherry timeWhen the two of us go dreaming as we pickCherry earingsCherries of love in matching dressesFalling under the leaves like drops of bloodBut it is quiet short, the cherry timeCoral pendants we pick while we dream
When you will be in the cherry timeAnd you’re afraid of love’s sadnessAvoid the fair ladiesI not fearing the cruel painsI will live not one day without sufferingWhen you will be in the cherry timeYou too will feel the sadness of love
I will always love the cherry timeIt’s from this time that I keep in my heartAn open woundAnd Lady Fortune being offered to meCould never relieve my painI will always love the cherry timeAnd the memory I keep in my heart

Deh, poi ch'era ne' fati ch'io dovessi
amar la morte e non la vita mia,
vorrei morir almen, sì che la morte
da lei, che n'è cagion, gradita fosse,
né si sdegnasse a l'ultimo sospiro
di mostrarmi i begli occhi e dirmi: "Mori!".
