These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
On est à peine un gosse qu'il faut déjà grandir un peu
You're hardly a kid, you've got to grow up a little bit
On est à peine un homme que l'on se sent devenir vieux
You're hardly a man you feel like you're getting old
On veut forcer la chance, on veut changer la vie
We want to force luck, we want to change our lives
Et on s'en va, et puis on s'en va
And we go away, and then we go away
Et puis la vie nous change, on n'en a plus envie
And then life changes us, we don't want to
Et on s'en va, on s'en va
And we're leaving, we're leaving
La terre promise, on ne la voit que de loin
The promised land, you can only see it from afar
La terre promise, c'est toujours pour demain
The promised land is always for tomorrow
Quand on s'arrête sur le bord du chemin
When you stop on the side of the road
Voilà qu'on nous réveille de nos rêves avant la fin
Now we're getting a wake from our dreams before the end
Le jour ou l'amour passe, on croit que l'on s'envole
The day that love passes, we believe that we fly away
Et on s'en va, et puis on s'en va
And we go away, and then we go away
Mais les amours se cassent, le rêve dégringole
But love breaks, the dream tumbles
Et on s'en va, on s'en va
And we're leaving, we're leaving
La terre promise, on ne la voit que de loin
The promised land, you can only see it from afar
La terre promise, c'est toujours pour demain
The promised land is always for tomorrow
Quand on s'arrête sur le bord du chemin
When you stop on the side of the road
Voilà qu'on nous réveille de nos rêves avant la fin
Now we're getting a wake from our dreams before the end
Nos amitiés finissent souvent au bout de la saison
Our friendships often end at the end of the season
Et toi mon vieux complice, quels vents d'hiver t'emporteront?
And you, my old accomplice, what winter winds will take you away?
On entre dans la ronde, on y fait quelques pas
We enter the round, we take a few steps
Et on s'en va, et puis on s'en va
And we go away, and then we go away
Le temps d'une seconde et c'est la fin du monde
Time for a second and it's the end of the world
Et on s'en va, on s'en va
And we're leaving, we're leaving
