Bolshoi (Russian: большой, meaning big, large, great) may refer to:
Don Quixote ( /ˌdɒn kiːˈhoʊtiː/; Spanish: [ˈdoŋ kiˈxote] ( listen)), fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha), is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes. The novel follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, who reads too many chivalric novels, and sets out to revive chivalry under the name of Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who frequently deals with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood with a unique Earthy wit. He is met by the world as it is, initiating themes like Intertextuality, Realism, Metatheatre and Literary Representation.
Published in two volumes a decade apart, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published. In one such list, Don Quixote was cited as the "best literary work ever written".
Please, don't leave this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
Swallow your pride and sit down
Smooth away that frown
If we must part let's leave as friends
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true, after all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing I'm certain of, I have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out
Please let down your guard
Life can be so hard
And we could always help each other
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For I will always love you
My love is an open book
If you take a look you can read between the lines
I smile and say 'I'm doing fine'
Please don't go
Don't you know, baby if you go
A part of me will never be the same no more
Turn around, let's try it
Just one more time
Please don't leave me this way
There's still so much to say
And we could always talk together
You've got no reason to cry
This is not goodbye
For I will always love you
Don't you know I care
Care about you yes I do baby / I'm still your friend
What we have to share
Share a dream now there's no end / can never end
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
All the dreams we shared
I can't believe it's true
After all that we've been through
Please don't go
One thing I'm certain of, I have no doubt
People need each other, that's what life's about
And oh, if we can try then baby by and by
We can work it out
