My turn:

Who wrote this (roughly translated)?

Don’t leave me
You have to forget
Everything can be forgotten
Which already fled
Forget the time
of misunderstandings
And the time
Lost without knowing for
Forget those hours
Which sometimes killed
Hitting with why's
The heart of happiness
Don’t leave me

I’ll offer you
Beads of rain
From lands
Where rain doesn’t fall
I’ll dig the earth
Until beyond my death
To cover your body
With gold and light
I’ll build a place
Where love will be king
Where love will be law
Where you will be queen
Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I'll invent
Crazy words
That you’ll understand
I’ll tell you the tale
Of those lovers
Who have lived twice
Their hearts set ablaze
I'll tell you
The story of this king
Who died of not having
been able to meet you
Don’t leave me

Often, one could see
Fire pouring out
of an ancient volcano
Which was thought too old
There are, so it seems
Scorched fields
Giving more wheat
Than the best April
And when evening comes
To set the sky ablaze
Aren’t red and black
Marrying each other?
Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me
I won’t cry anymore
I won’t talk anymore
I’ll hide there
To look at you
Dancing and smiling
And to listen to you
Singing and then laughing
Let me be
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
Don’t leave me

Just a guess but it sounds like an Alexander Pushkin work.

No, it's more recent than that.


Hint: it's a song which has been adapted in english and recorded by many american and brit singers including Frank Sinatra, Shirley Bassey and Dusty Springfield.

Well it looks like I've broken the game... 

Revival attempt and 2nd hint: Title of the song adapted in english is 'If you go away'...

[RotBaron]

New one, a riddle though:


Dressed in black and often upsets the natives, she's one that will stab in the back.


Edit oh sorry I just reread your last post, I initially read it to mean you were giving it away, not "revival"...

Sorry


mine can wait
