Translation of J'irai Où Tu Iras from French to English
Where I live, the forests balance themselves
And the roofs of the houses scrape the sky
The torrential waters are violence
And the snows are eternal
Where I live, the wolves are at our doors
And all the children understand them
We can hear the screams from New York
And the boats on the Seine
Go for your forests, your wolves, your skyscrapers
Go for the torrents, your eternal snows
I live where your eyes shine, where your blood flows
Where there are arms to hold me tight
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
I'll go where you'll go
No matter the place
No matter the destination
I want coconut trees, beaches
And palm trees blowing in the wind
The fire of the sun on your face
And the blue of the oceans
I want camels and mirages
And enchanting deserts
Caravans and trips like you see in the brochures
Go for your coconut trees, your shores
Go for your lagoons, balancing all that blue
I live where love is a village
There where they're waiting for me
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
I'll go where you'll go
No matter the place
No matter the destination
Grab your legs and your shoes and your dreams and your life
Your words, your tabernacles and your language from around here
Your flight and your powder and your wandering spirit
Show me your Edens, show me your Hells
Your norths and then your souths and your easts and your wests
Grab your legs and your shoes and your dreams and your life
Your words, your tabernacles and your language from around here
Your flight and your powder and your wandering spirit
Show me your Edens, show me your Hells
Where I live, the forests balance themselves
And the roofs of the houses scrape the sky
The torrential waters are violence
And the snows are eternal
Where I live, the wolves are at our doors
And all the children understand them
We can hear the screams from New York
And the boats on the Seine
Doesn't matter where, I'll go where my fancy takes me
I love your desires, I love your light (your light)
All these vistas look like you
When you light them up (when you light them up)
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
I'll go where you'll go
No matter the place
No matter the destination
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
No matter the place
No matter the destination
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
No matter the place
No matter the destination
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
No matter the place
No matter the destination
I'll go where you'll go, you will be my country
No matter the place
No matter the destination
