Je voudrais partir
I would like to leave
Jusqu'à la mer
Until we reach the sea
Allongé sur le sable
Lying on the sand
Prendre un peu l'air
Getting a bit of fresh air
Sentir les embrums
Feeling the breezes
Rester encore
Staying a little longer
Rester jusqu'à
Staying until
S'ensaler le corps
Getting our bodies all sandy
On serait juste toi et moi
It would just be you and me
Près d'ici ou là-bas
Close by or far away
Sans règles dignes et sans foi
Without worthy rules and without faith
Quand tu veux on y va
Whenever you want, let's go
Toutes les couleurs du ciel
All the colors of the sky
Un plein de bouteilles
A full load of bottles
Du rhum du vin du miel
Some rum, some wine, some honey
Quand tu veux on y va
Whenever you want, let's go
Cachés par les dunes
Hidden by the dunes
Entre terre et mer
Between land and sea
Voler un peu de pain
To steal a bit of bread
Des refrains à la mer
Choruses to the sea
Bien sûr tu serais là
Of course you would be there
Moi blotti contre toi
Me nestled against you
J'te raconterai ce rêve
I'll tell you this dream
Si tu veux on y va
If you want, we can go
On serait juste toi et moi
It would just be you and me
Près d'ici ou là-bas
Near here or over there
Sans règles dignes et sans foi
Without rules worthy and without faith
Quand tu veux on y va
Whenever you want, we can go
Toutes les couleurs du ciel
All the colors of the sky
Un plein de bouteilles
A full load of bottles
Du rhum du vin du miel
Rum, wine, honey
Quand tu veux on y va
When you're ready, we go
Et si on vie caché
And what if we live hidden
Et si on vie damné
And what if we live damned
Et si le temps se compte
And what if time is counted
On frustre nos hontes
We suppress our shames
Là-bas tu peux mentir
Over there you can lie
Là-bas tu peux tricher
Over there you can cheat
Là bas on peut salir
Over there we can soil
Là-bas...
Over there...
On peut...
We can...
On serait juste toi et moi
It would just be you and me
Près d'ici ou là-bas
Near here or over there
Sans règles dignes et sans foi
Without worthy rules and without faith
Quand tu veux on y va
Whenever you want, we can go
Toutes les couleurs du ciel
All the colors of the sky
Un plein de bouteilles
A full load of bottles
Du rhum du vin du miel
Rhum, wine, and honey
Quand tu veux on y va
Whenever you want, we can go
