-:''[[Ernst van Altena (vertalingen)]]'' 
-'''Ernst van Altena''' ([[Amsterdam]], [[December 11]] [[1933]] — [[Landsmeer]], [[June 14]] [[1999]]) was a [[Dutch poet]], author and translator. He is best-known for his translation of "[[Le Plat Pays]]".+"'''Ne me quitte pas'''" ("Don't Leave Me") is a song written and sung in French by the Belgian [[chansonnier]] (singer-songwriter) [[Jacques Brel]] in 1959. It has been [[Cover version|covered]] in the original French by many artists and has also been translated into and performed in many other languages. A well-known English adaptation - by Rod McKuen - is called "[[If You Go Away]]".
-==Levensloop==+==History==
-Van Altena groeide op in Amsterdam in een [[sociaal-democratisch]] milieu. Na de [[Hogereburgerschool|HBS]] en diverse korte betrekkingen (van kantoormedewerker tot filmassistent) werd hij in 1955 reclametekstschrijver. +[[Jacques Brel]] first recorded this song on 11 September 1959, and it is on his album ''[[La Valse à Mille Temps]]''. The song is published by [[Warner Music Group|Warner-Chappell Publishing]]. In 1961, he recorded a Flemish version of the song, entitled "''Laat Me Niet Alleen''". In 1972, Brel recorded another version as the title track of his album ''[[Ne Me Quitte Pas (Jacques Brel album)|Ne Me Quitte Pas]]''.
-Uit biografische beschrijvingen blijkt dat eigen mededelingen van Ernst van Altena over zijn jeugdjaren in circa 25 kranteninterviews vaak verzonnen zijn. Daarbij wordt de term [[pseudologia phantastica|pseudologia]] gebruikt. Hij is niet op zijn 15de of zelfs 13de jaar beroepsmatig met muziek en teksten begonnen, zat maar kort op het Avondlyceum en niet in de Parijse jazz, trok niet als troubadour met of zonder orkest door Frankrijk en heeft nooit [[Boris Vian]], [[Juliette Gréco]], [[Georges Brassens]] enz. gekend. Klarinettist was hij alleen in 1953-54 in amateurjazzbandjes in [[Amsterdam]].+The lyrics "''Moi, je t'offrirai des perles de pluie venues de pays où il ne pleut pas''" ("I'll give you pearls of rain that come from lands where it does not rain") are sung to a theme borrowed from the [[Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6]] by the composer [[Franz Liszt]].
-Vanuit zijn reclameberoep ging hij al gauw radiocabaretteksten maken en daarna ging hij steeds meer theaterteksten en letterkundige teksten schrijven en vertalen. Hij zat enige jaren in het bestuur van de [[Vereniging voor Letterkundigen]], het [[Fonds voor de letteren]], en diverse andere belangenverenigingen voor schrijvers en vertalers. Naast dit alles heeft hij verscheidene radio- en televisieprogramma's gemaakt waarin poëzie en chansons centraal stonden.+''Ne me quitte pas'' was written after Brel's mistress "Zizou" ([[Suzanne Gabriello]]) threw him out of her life. Zizou was pregnant with Brel's child, but Brel refused to acknowledge he fathered the child. Zizou later had an abortion as a result of Brel's actions.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}}
-== Poëzie ==+It is considered by some as "Brel's ultimate classic". He would later say in an interview that the song is not a love song, but rather a song about the cowardice of men.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}
-De [[poëzie]] van van Altena is in twee groepen te verdelen:+
-*Poëzie onder invloed van de [[Vijftigers]]+
-*[[Erotische poëzie]] (Zoals ''Jij goudgepunte lans'')+
-== Theater ==+[[Nina Simone]] performed a well known cover of the song, in her 1965 album ''[[I Put A Spell On You (album)|I Put A Spell On You]]''. "Ne Me Quitte Pas" was used by Spanish filmmaker [[Pedro Almodóvar]] in his sixth film, ''[[Law of Desire]]'', in a striking performance by Brazilian singer [[Maysa Matarazzo]].
-Van Altena schreef zelf diverse [[cabaret (kleinkunst)|cabaretteksten]] en chansons. Hij zou de bedenker zijn van de Nederlandse vertaling voor chanson: [[luisterlied]]. Een enkele keer zong hij ook zijn eigen luisterliedjes, en nam ook een [[LP]] op.+

"Ne me quitte pas" ("Don't Leave Me") is a song written and sung in French by the Belgian chansonnier (singer-songwriter) Jacques Brel in 1959. It has been covered in the original French by many artists and has also been translated into and performed in many other languages. A well-known English adaptation - by Rod McKuen - is called "If You Go Away".

History

Jacques Brel first recorded this song on 11 September 1959, and it is on his album La Valse à Mille Temps. The song is published by Warner-Chappell Publishing. In 1961, he recorded a Flemish version of the song, entitled "Laat Me Niet Alleen". In 1972, Brel recorded another version as the title track of his album Ne Me Quitte Pas.

The lyrics "Moi, je t'offrirai des perles de pluie venues de pays où il ne pleut pas" ("I'll give you pearls of rain that come from lands where it does not rain") are sung to a theme borrowed from the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6 by the composer Franz Liszt.

Ne me quitte pas was written after Brel's mistress "Zizou" (Suzanne Gabriello) threw him out of her life. Zizou was pregnant with Brel's child, but Brel refused to acknowledge he fathered the child. Zizou later had an abortion as a result of Brel's actions.Template:Citation needed

It is considered by some as "Brel's ultimate classic". He would later say in an interview that the song is not a love song, but rather a song about the cowardice of men.Template:Citation needed

Nina Simone performed a well known cover of the song, in her 1965 album I Put A Spell On You. "Ne Me Quitte Pas" was used by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar in his sixth film, Law of Desire, in a striking performance by Brazilian singer Maysa Matarazzo.
