If Ever I Would Leave You
Eternal Devotion in Every Season
Lyrics
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer.
If I were to leave you, it wouldn't be during the summer season.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
I would never choose to depart from you in the summertime.
Your hair streaked with sun-light, your lips red as flame, your face with a luster.
Describing your appearance in summer: sunlit hair, fiery red lips, and a radiant face that outshines gold.
That puts gold to shame.
Your beauty is so extraordinary that it surpasses the brilliance of gold.
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn.
If I were to leave, it couldn't be in autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
Exploring the impossibility of leaving during autumn, expressing uncertainty about how one could depart during this season.
I've seen how you sparkle, when fall nips the air.
Highlighting the charm and radiance you exhibit when the fall weather sets in.
I know you in autumn, and I must be there.
A commitment to being present with you in the autumn season.
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Contemplating leaving you during joyful moments like running through the snow.
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
Imagining departing during a cozy winter evening by the fire, noticing your warmth and glow.
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in spring-time
If I were to leave, it wouldn't be in springtime.
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Acknowledging the enchantment felt during spring and how it binds the speaker to you.
Oh, no! not in spring-time.
Rejecting the idea of leaving in springtime emphatically.
Summer, winter or fall.
Emphasizing that the decision to stay is unwavering, irrespective of the season—summer, winter, or fall.
No, never could I leave you at all.
A firm declaration that leaving is not an option under any circumstances.
No, never could I leave you at all.
Confirming once again the absolute dedication to remain with you always.
