Je n'irai pas fair' ces voyag's
I won't go on these journeys
Dont j'avais tant et plus revé
Which I had dreamed of so much and more
Je n'irai pas fair' ces voyag's
I won't go on these journeys
Je n'ai plus envie d'm'en aller
I don't want to leave anymore
Partir ca n'en valait la pein'
Leaving wasn't worth it
Que si tu venais avec moi
Only if you came with me
Partir ca n'en vaut plus la pein'
Leaving isn't worth it anymore
Puisqu'il faudrait partir sans toi
Since I'd have to leave without you
Que m'importe dès lors
What do I care then
La muraille de Chine
The Great Wall of China
Si je dois etre seul
If I have to be alone
Pour en faire le tour
To go around it
Que m'importent Java
What do I care about Java
Les iles Philippines
The Philippine Islands
Sumatra, Bornéo
Sumatra, Borneo
Ceylan ou Singapour
Ceylon or Singapore
Que m'importent Kyushu
What do I care about Kyushu
Et l'ile Sakhaline
And Sakhalin Island
Si tu n'es près de moi
If you're not near me
Près de moi mon amour
Near me, my love
Je n'irai pas fair' ces voyag's
I won't go on these journeys
Dont j'avais tant et trop parlé
Which I had talked about so much and too much
Je n'irai pas fair' ces voyag's
I won't go on these journeys
Je n'ai plus envie d'm'en aller
I don't want to leave anymore
Partir ca n'en avait d'importance
Leaving didn't matter
Que si tu venais avec moi
Only if you came with me
Sans toi ca n'a plus d'importance
Without you it doesn't matter anymore
Alors tant pis si je reste là
So too bad if I stay here
Que m'importe dès lors
What do I care then
La muraille de Chine
The Great Wall of China
Si je dois etre seul
If I have to be alone
Pour en faire le tour
To go around it
Que m'importent Java
What do I care about Java
Les iles Philippines
The Philippine Islands
Sumatra, Bornéo
Sumatra, Borneo
Ceylan ou Singapour
Ceylon or Singapore
Que m'importent Kyushu
What do I care about Kyushu
Et l'ile Sakhaline
And Sakhalin Island
Si tu n'es près de moi
If you're not near me
Près de moi mon amour
Near me, my love

muraille — wall

Muraille translates to "wall," but it's not just any wall. It specifically refers to a large, imposing wall, often one of historical significance or defense, like a city wall or a rampart.

In this song, Henri Salvador uses "La muraille de Chine" (The Great Wall of China) as a symbol of grand, distant travels and exotic adventures. He expresses that these incredible journeys lose their appeal if he cannot share them with his beloved, making the word a poignant representation of unfulfilled dreams without companionship.
