Ne me quitte pas

"Ne me quitte pas" ("Don't leave me") is a song by Belgian born Jacques Brel, was released in 1959. The song was covered many times in different languages. The lyrics of the song deliver the extent the things that the man is willing to do to bring back his partner.

One of the most desperate part of the lyrics are:

I will offer you

Pearls made of rain

Coming from countries

Where it never rains

And i also found it interesting this passage taken from wikipedia:

In a 1966 interview, Brel said that "Ne me quitte pas" was not a love song, but rather "a hymn to the cowardice of men", and the degree to which they were willing to humiliate themselves. He knew, he said, that it would give pleasure to women who assumed it was a love song, and he understood that.
