Don't ever take your love from me
You can take from me everything I hold most dear in the world
You can take from me the days, the nights and the years if you want
Leave me alone in a certain place
From where I can't ever return to mine ("my folks")
But don't ever take your love from me
But don't ever take your love from me.
You can make me one with the earth
Step on me a thousand times
Tear me with your teeth and then summon the wind
Scatter my body in a thousand rays
But don't ever take your love from me
But don't ever take your love from me...
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
And the days will be again as they were before
From missing you, yes, yes, from missing you.
You can pour me into a glass of water
Or forget me at the bottom of the sea among predatory fish
Leave me to float on a wave in the Dead Sea
Or fall slowly from the sky with the rain.
But don't ever take your love from me
But don't ever take your love from me
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
And the days will be again as they were before.
You can take from me everything I hold most dear in the world
You can take from me the days, the nights, and the years if you want
Leave me alone in a certain place
From where I can't ever return to mine
But don't ever take your love from me
But don't ever take your love from me.
But don't ever take your love from me
But don't ever take your love from me...
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
Because then I'll die from missing you
And the days will be again as they were before
From missing you, yes, yes, from missing you.
