LÀ-BAS with Florent Pagny
(Jean-Jacques Goldman)

Là bas
Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage
Libre continent sans grillage
Ici nos rêves sont étroits
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas

Là bas
Faut du coeur et faut du courage
Mais tout est possible à mon âge
Si tu as la force et la foi
L'or est à portée de tes doigts
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas

N'y va pas
Y a des tempêtes et des naufrages
Le feu, les diables et les mirages
Je te sais si fragile parfois
Reste au creux de moi

On a tant d'amour à faire
Tant de bonheur à venir
Je te veux mari et père
Mais toi tu rêves de partir

Ici tout est joué d'avance
Et l'on y peut rien changer
Tout dépend de ta naissance
Et moi je ne suis pas bien né

Là bas
Loin de nos vies, de nos villages
J'oublierai ta voix, ton visage
J'ai beau te serrer dans mes bras
Tu m'échappes déjà là bas
J'aurai ma chance et j'aurai mes droits

N'y va pas
Et la fierté qu'ici je n'ai pas
Là bas
Tout ce que tu mérites est à toi
N'y va pas
Ici les autres imposent leurs lois
Là bas Je te perdrai peut-être là bas
N'y va pas je me perds si je reste là
Là bas
La vie ne m'a pas laissé le choix
N'y va pas
Toi et moi ce sera là bas ou pas
Là bas
Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage
N'y va pas
Libre continent sans grillage
Là bas Beau comme on imagine pas
N'y va pas
Ici nos rêves sont étroits
Là bas C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas
N'y va pas
On ne m'a pas laissé le choix
Là bas Je me perds si je reste là
N'y va pas
C'est pour ça que j'irai là bas



THERE

There

Everything's new and wild

A free continent without grating

Here our dreams are narrow

That's why I'll go there

There

Heart and courage are missing

But everything is possibble at my age

If you got the force and the belief

You have brought gold in your fingers

That's why I'll go there

Don't go there

There are storms and shipwrecks

The fire, the devil and the mirage

I know you are so fragile sometimes

Stay in my arms

We have so much to love

All the good is coming

I want you to be a husbend and a father

And you, you dream of leaving

Here everything is directed in advance

And there is nothing to change them

Everything depends on your birth

And my origin is not good

There

Away from our lives, our villages

I'll forget your voice, your face

In vain I hold you thight in my arms

You escape already, there

I'll have a chance, I'll have my rights

Don't go there

And the pride here I don't have it

There All that you deserve is yours

Don't go there

Here the others force on their laws

There

I'll would loose you there maybe

Don't go there

But I loose myself if I stay there

There

Life doesn't give me the choise

Don't go there

You and me, that would be there or not

There

Everything is new and wild

Don't go there

A free continent without laws

There

Beautiful like we never imagined

Don't go there

Here our dreams are narrow

There

That's why I'll go there

Don't go there

I have no choise left

There

I loose myself if I stay there

Don't go there

That's why I'll go there
