Lyrics
J’ai tant vu des bateaux, aux ventres pleins de rêves
Qui décrochaient la grève et l’emmenaient radeau
J’ai tant vu des bateaux, qui faisaient tour du monde
Qui faisaient mappemonde et se noyaient dans l’eau
Mais moi, je suis resté sur les quais en partance
Entre foule qui danse et voyageurs pressés
Et moi, je suis resté sur les quais
Sur les quais
J’ai tant vu de ces trains, aux fumées qui s'échappent
Accrochées en écharpes, pour tenir chaud au loin
J’ai tant vu de ces trains qui faisaient tour de gares
Qui faisaient pas d’histoires, mais se perdaient lointain
Mais moi, je suis resté sur les quais en partance
Entre foule qui danse et voyageurs pressés
Et moi, je suis resté sur les quais
Sur les quais
J’ai tant vu des avions aux ailes de promesses
Qui s’envolaient sans cesse vers des pays visions
J’ai tant vu des avions qui crevaient les nuages
Qui faisaient des orages et tombaient sans raison
Mais moi, je suis resté à rêver de partance
Entre foule qui danse et voyageurs pressés
Et moi, je suis resté
Et moi, je suis resté
Et moi, je suis resté
À rêver de m’en aller
De m’en aller
Lyrics translation
I've seen so many boats, bellies full of dreams
Who went on strike and took him raft
I've seen so many boats around the world
Who made a world map and drowned in the water
But I stayed on the docks on my way out.
Between crowd dancing and travelers in a hurry
And I stayed on the docks
On the docks
I've seen so much of these trains, the fumes that escape
Hung in scarves, to keep warm away
I've seen so much of these trains that were going around stations
Who made no fuss, but got lost far away
But I stayed on the docks on my way out.
Between crowd dancing and travelers in a hurry
And I stayed on the docks
On the docks
I've seen so many planes with wings of promise
Who were constantly flying to countries visions
I've seen so many planes piercing the clouds
Who made thunderstorms and fell for no reason
But I stayed to dream of leaving
Between crowd dancing and travelers in a hurry
And I stayed
And I stayed
And I stayed
To dream of leaving
To leave
