. . . . . "\"If You Go Away\" is an adaptation of the 1959 Jacques Brel song \"Ne me quitte pas\" with English lyrics by Rod McKuen. Created as part of a larger project to translate Brel's work, \"If You Go Away\" 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."@en .
