這首歌也有英語版本，盡管法文歌名原意為“ PLEASE DON”T LEAVE ME“，英語卻譯為 " If You Go Away" 。顯然，英語名字和歌詞相對法語更增添了一些亮色。
在過去的幾十年間，盡管許多知名歌手演唱過這首歌曲，然而，沒有人能夠超越Jacques Brel的版本，他的演唱成為了永恒的經典之作。
再請比較的聽聽Barbra Streisand 的演繹
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
