J'y Vais Lyrics in English Patrick Fiori , Florent Pagny

Ready to chase the spark you once had? “J’y Vais” (“I’m going”) unites two French vocal giants, Patrick Fiori and Florent Pagny, in a rousing pledge to track down the child within, no matter how long the journey or how far the road. They sing of walking a lifetime, crossing seas, and following time “d’ici jusqu’au bout du monde”—all to reclaim the wide-eyed wonder that first lit up their lives. The destination is not a place but a feeling: that joli fantôme, the beautiful ghost of innocence that still hides in every step we take.

The song mixes nostalgia with fierce determination. It reminds us that our past is not a weight but a compass, guiding us to renew forgotten dreams and build a brighter world. With soaring harmonies and anthemic energy, Fiori and Pagny turn a simple vow—“J’y vais!”—into a life motto: carry your inner child, nurture its light, and boldly answer every challenge with “I’m going!”
