abstract
  • %22If You Go Away%22 is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song %22Ne me quitte pas%22 with English lyrics by Rod McKuen. Created as part of a larger project to translate Brel's work, %22If You Go Away%22 is considered a pop standard and has been recorded by many artists, including Greta Keller, for whom some say McKuen wrote the lyrics.Damita Jo reached #10 on the Adult Contemporary chart and #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1966 for her version of the song. Terry Jacks recorded a version of the song which was released as a single in 1974 and reached #29 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #68 on the Billboard Hot 100, and went to #8 in the UK.The complex melody is partly derivative of classical music - the poignant %22But if you stay...%22 passage comes from Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6.
