Emmenez-moi

Towards the docks where weight and boredom
Bend my back
They arrive with heavy bellies
Boats full of fruit

They come from the ends of the earth
Bringing with them
Wandering ideas
Reflecting blue skies
Mirages

Trailing a peppery scent
Of unknown countries
And eternal summers
Where we live almost naked
On the beaches

I, who have known all my life
Only the northern sky
I would like to wash off this gray
As I tack

Take me to the ends of the earth
Take me to wonderland
It seems to me that misery
Would be less painful in the Sun

In the bars at dusk
With the sailors
When we talk about girls and love
A drink in hand

I lose track of things
And suddenly my thoughts
Take me up and set me down
A wonderful summer
On the strike

Where I see arms outstretched
Love running like a madman
Running towards me
And I hang on the neck
Of my dream

When the bars close, the sailors
Rejoin their shores
I still dream until morning
Standing on the port

Take me to the ends of the earth
Take me to wonderland
It seems to me that misery
Would be less painful in the Sun

One fine day on a creaking tub
From hull to deck
To leave, I would work in
The coal bunker

Taking the road that leads
To my childhood dreams
On distant islands
Where nothing is important
But living

Where languid girls
Rive your heart
By braiding, I've been told
These flower necklaces
That intoxicate

I would flee, leaving my past there
Without any remorse
Without baggage and with a free heart
Singing very strong

Take me to the ends of the earth
Take me to wonderland
It seems to me that misery
Would be less painful in the Sun
