Emmenez-moi Lyrics in English Charles Aznavour

From the grey, weighty docks of the North, the narrator lifts his eyes toward the exotic ships that glide in, their hulls heavy with fruit and fragrances from far-off lands. Each vessel becomes a spark for his wanderlust. Surrounded by toil and boredom, he persuades himself that even poverty would sting less under a blazing sun, on beaches where people "live almost naked" and every day feels like an endless summer.

As night falls in the harbor bars, rum and sailor tales fan his fantasies: dizzying sunsets, flower garlands, and languid island romances. He vows to climb aboard a creaking ship, shoveling coal if he must, and sail to that land of wonders where past burdens disappear and only living and loving matter. In short, "Emmenez-moi" is Charles Aznavour’s passionate anthem to escape, showing how hope and imagination can carry us far beyond the horizon.
