Là Où Je Vais Lyrics in English by Laura Cahen, Jeanne Added
M'emportent comes from the verb emporter, which means "to carry away" or "to take away". It's a strong verb that conveys a sense of being swept up or overwhelmed.
In the context of the song, the singer uses it to describe how the storm and the night "carry her away" from everything familiar and from here. It beautifully captures the feeling of being taken on a journey, both literally and metaphorically, into the unknown.
Have you ever felt the urge to just leave everything behind and start fresh? That's exactly what Laura Cahen and Jeanne Added sing about in "Là Où Je Vais" (Where I Go). This song is all about embracing the unknown and finding freedom in letting go.
The lyrics paint a picture of someone who isn't afraid of a little rain or even a storm. "Moi j'ai toujours aimé marcher sous la pluie" (I've always loved walking in the rain) sets the tone for a journey where the destination isn't as important as the act of moving forward. They're ready to leave behind a place that feels too confining, even if it means sleeping outside or facing the wind. "Cette nuit je quitterai le port / Aussi tes bras qui me serrent trop fort" (Tonight I will leave the port / Also your arms that hold me too tight) really drives home that feeling of needing space and independence. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's ever felt the call of the open road and the promise of a smile, no matter where they end up: "Là où je vais je sourirai" (Where I go I will smile).
