Je pars
I'm leaving
Avec la joie au cœur
With joy in my heart
Laissant ici tous les soucis
Leaving all my worries behind
Je pars vers le bonheur
I'm heading towards happiness
Je pars
I'm leaving
Bonsoir tous les amis
Good evening, all my friends
Voici l'été ensoleillé
Here comes the sunny summer
Moi, je pars vers la vie
Me, I'm heading towards life
Demain si rien ne m'arrête
Tomorrow, if nothing holds me back
Je vais me réveiller
I'm going to wake up
Avec au fond de la tête
With melodies in the depths of my mind
Des airs de chansons par milliers
Tons of song tunes
La, la, la, la, la
Je pars
I'm leaving
Afin d'aller revoir
To go back and see again
Le tout petit village
The tiny little village
Qui cache mon espoir
That hides my hope
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Je pars
I’m leaving
Je pars vers mon pays
I’m heading to my homeland
Où j'ai passé bien des années
Where I've spent many years
À courir les prairies
Running through the meadows
Je pars
I’m leaving
Vers le petit clocher
Towards the little bell tower
Qui tout content
Which happily
Va comme avant
Goes on as before
Sonner à la volée
Ringing in the air
Je sens au fond de mon être
I feel deep within my being
L'amour monter en moi
Love rising in me
Là-bas à chaque fenêtre
Over there at every window
Quelqu'un me dira te voilà
Someone will say to me, there you are
La, la, la, la, la, la
Je pars
I'm on my way
Le cœur gonflé de joie
With a heart full of joy
Car pour doubler ma chance
Because to double my chance
Je pars, mais je pars avec toi
I'm leaving, but I'm leaving with you
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
