Ne t'enfuis pas

"Ne t'enfuis pas" is a song written and recorded by Kate Bush. It was released in July 1983 in France and Canada.[1] The song was originally released as the B-side of the single's "There Goes a Tenner" (in the UK & Ireland), and "Suspended in Gaffa" in (Continental Europe), The title was misspelled as "Ne T'en Fui Pas".

"Ne t'enfuis pas" tells the story of a woman, worried that her lover is about to leave, wrestling with her conscience over her plans to make him stay.

The B-side, "Un baiser d'enfant", is a French-language version of "The Infant Kiss", from Bush's album Never for Ever. Based on the movie The Innocents, it is the story of a governess who is frightened by the adult feelings she has for her young male charge (who is possessed by the spirit of a grown man).

The A-side is a remix. The vocals are cleaner and more forward than on the version that was released in late 1982. Additionally, the spelling was corrected. This version was eventually included on the This Woman's Work box set in 1990.

In English "Ne t'enfuis pas" means "Don't run away".
