Do not forsake me, My Darling. (High Noon)

 

Canción compuesta por Dimitri Tiomkin en 1952,  para la película High Noon — Solo ante el peligro—, dirigida por Fred Zinnemann, y en la versión original de Tex Ritter. En mi opinión más pausada y solemne, que la, también famosa,  de Frankie Laine.

Letra

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin'

On this, our weddin' day Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Wait, wait along

I do not know what fate awaits me I only know I must be brave And I must face a man who hates me Or lie a coward, a craven coward Or lie a coward in my grave

S'posin' I lose my fair-haired beauty Look at that big hand move along Nearin' high noon

He made a vow while in state prison Vowed it would be my life or his'n I'm not afraid of death but oh What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' You made that promise as a bride Do not forsake me, oh my darlin' Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin' Now that I need you by my side

Wait along,(wait along) wait along Wait along, wait along

Wait along, wait along, wait along, wait along
