If Ever I Would Leave You
Eternal Seasons of Love: Emile Pandolfi's Captivating Melody
Lyrics
If ever I would leave you, it wouldn't be in summer.
If I were to leave you, it wouldn't happen during the summer season.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
I wouldn't consider leaving you when I see you in summer.
Your hair streaked with sun-light, your lips red as flame, your face with a luster.
Describing the beauty of the person with sunlit hair, flame-red lips, and a radiant face.
That puts gold to shame.
The person's beauty is so intense 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 wouldn't be during the autumn season.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
I don't know how I would leave during autumn because of the person's sparkle when fall begins.
I've seen how you sparkle, when fall nips the air.
Expressing admiration for the person's sparkle as the air gets colder in fall.
I know you in autumn, and I must be there.
I have experienced your presence in autumn, and I feel the need to be with you then.
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Contemplating leaving during snowy times or wintry evenings when the fire's glow is captivating.
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
Imagining scenarios of leaving during different winter situations.
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 being captivated by the person's allure during spring.
Oh, no! not in spring-time.
Emphatically stating that leaving wouldn't happen in springtime.
Summer, winter or fall.
Regardless of the season—summer, winter, or fall—leaving is not an option.
No, never could I leave you at all.
A firm declaration that leaving the person is out of the question.
No, never could I leave you at all.
Affirming the enduring commitment by stating that leaving is not an option at all.
