J'irai où tu iras [English translation]

In my home, the woods sway

And the roofs scratch the sky

The water torrents are violent

And the blizzards are eternal

The wolves are at the doors of our homes

And all children understand them

We hear the screaming of New York

And the boats on the Seine

Ok, I'll take your forests, your wolves, your skyscrapers

Ok, I'll take your torrents, your eternal blizzards

I live where your eyes shine and your blood flows

Where your arms squeeze me

I'll go where you go, you'll be my nation

I'll go where you go, whatever the place

Whatever the spot1

I want coconut trees, the beaches

And palm trees in the wind

The sun's fire on the face

And the blue of the oceans

I want the camels of the mirages

And the captivating deserts

The caravans and travels,

As seen on leaflets

Ok, I'll take your coconut trees and your beaches

Ok, I'll take your all-blue lagoons

I live where love is a village

There, where I'm waited

I'll go where you go, you'll be my nation

I'll go where you go, whatever the place

Whatever the spot1

Take all of you and your bed and your dreams and your life

Your words, the tabernacles and the language from here

The disappearance, the powder and the air's daughter

Show me your Edens, show me your hell

Your north and your south and your east-west

In my home, the woods sway

And the roofs scratch the sky

The water torrents are violent

And the blizzards are eternal

There are wolves at the doors of our homes

And all children understand

We hear the screaming of New York

And the boats on the Seine

Wherever I'll go, where it pleases you

I love your desires, I love your light

All the landscapes remind me of you

When you enlighten them

I'll go where you go, you'll be my nation

I'll go where you go, whatever the place

Whatever the spot1
