If Ever I Would Leave You
Eternal Devotion in Changing Seasons
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.
Seeing you in summer I never would go.
Seeing you in the summer is so enchanting that I would never leave.
Your hair streaked with sun-light, your lips red as flame, your face with a luster.
Describing the allure of the person with sunlit hair, fiery lips, and radiant face.
That puts gold to shame.
Expressing the exceptional beauty that surpasses even gold.
But if I'd ever leave you, it couldn't be in autumn.
If I were to leave, it couldn't be during autumn.
How I'd leave in autumn I never will know.
Uncertain about how one could leave during the captivating season of autumn.
I've seen how you sparkle, when fall nips the air.
Highlighting the sparkling quality of the person during the fall season.
I know you in autumn, and I must be there.
Expressing a commitment to being present during the autumn season.
And could I leave you running merrily through the snow
Pondering leaving when the person is joyfully running through the snow.
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow
Contemplating leaving on a winter evening when the warmth of the fire is felt.
If ever I would leave you, how could it be in spring-time
If I were to leave, it wouldn't be during spring.
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so
Acknowledging being captivated by the person during the bewitching spring.
Oh, no! not in spring-time.
Emphatically stating that leaving wouldn't happen in spring.
Summer, winter or fall.
Reiterating the impossibility of leaving in any season—summer, winter, or fall.
No, never could I leave you at all.
A firm declaration that leaving is not an option at all.
No, never could I leave you at all.
Finalizing the sentiment that leaving is inconceivable.
