On dirait l'Islande [English translation]

Who never dreamed, even once only

Of impressive, long-lasting epics

Do I need however to go off far away from home

In search of adventure?

There are lots of volcanoes in Ardèche, my homeland

Elders use to say there are lots of elsewhere just nearby

Open your eyes and see

My request comes from the heart

I'm leaving just now, would you like to come

Over there it's like Iceland

Or at least like what I may know of it

Iceland, Iceland

What's the use of being less than 30

If my age does not fulfill my dreams?

Everyday it's a new life that vanishes

And will never come back, it's a shame

For a long time often, more often than I should

I believed you could only find

In Bab-el-Oued, Reykjavik or Ceylon

What you did not loose actually

That deafening silence, that azure sky akin to

What you burn when you reinvent the world

Have you the smallest doubts about it?

My request comes from the heart

I'm leaving just now, would you like to come

Over there it's like Iceland

Or at least like what I may know of it

Iceland, Iceland
