这首歌也有英语版本，尽管法文歌名原意为“ PLEASE DON”T LEAVE ME“，英语却译为 " If You Go Away" 。显然，英语名字和歌词相对法语更增添了一些亮色。
在过去的几十年间，尽管许多知名歌手演唱过这首歌曲，然而，没有人能够超越Jacques Brel的版本，他的演唱成为了永恒的经典之作。
再请比较的听听Barbra Streisand 的演绎
If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind
Then if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to hold in my hand
If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
