Don't insist on leaving today
Keep sitting beside me
Don't insist on leaving today
Else I shall die, I shall be looted
Please don't talk like this
Don't insist on leaving today

Give it a thought
Why shouldn't stop you?
When you leave
Life goes out of me
For your own sake, beloved
Just listen to this one plea
Don't insist on leaving today
Keep sitting beside me
Don't insist on leaving today

My life is trapped in time's bars
Just a few solitary moments are free
And if you lose them too, my beloved
You shall keep craving forever
Don't insist on leaving today
Keep sitting beside me
Don't insist on leaving today

What an innocent hueful meeting this is
Of beauty and love, they rule today
Who knows what lies in tomorrow
Let's make this night stand still
Don't insist on leaving today
Keep sitting beside me
Don't insist on leaving today
