Destination Ailleurs Lyrics in English Yannick Noah

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Destination Ailleurs by Yannick Noah from French to English.
We leave our shoes in the closet
And we grab the guitar
A Marley CD
We leave the kids with their parents
We'll take all the time we need
I keep you for myself
From Paris or elsewhere
If you follow me
We'll take the best
Everything is allowed
And if it suits us well
We'll go even further
Destination elsewhere
Destination elsewhere
We can close the door a bit
Forget about the others for a while
The car and the city
We could turn off the TV
Our two cell phones and just go
You and me for once
From Paris or elsewhere
If you follow me
We'll take the best
Everything is allowed
And if it suits us well
We'll go even further
Destination elsewhere
Destination elsewhere
We can take a break from our lives
It might not be a bad idea
From Paris or elsewhere
If you follow me
We'll take the best
Everything is allowed
And if it suits us well
We'll go even further
Destination
Destination elsewhere
If you're willing
One month, one day, one hour
We don't know
We don't know
So follow me
From Paris or elsewhere
If you follow me
We'll take the best
Everything is allowed
Everything is allowed
Destination elsewhere

SONG MEANING

Kick off your shoes, grab a guitar, and pop in a Bob Marley CD – Yannick Noah’s Destination Ailleurs is a joyful call to drop the everyday hustle and run away with someone you love. The lyrics paint a spontaneous getaway where babysitters handle the kids, phones and TV are switched off, and the only plan is to chase “the best” wherever the road leads. It is a soundtrack for rolling the windows down, letting the city fade, and feeling the thrill of unlimited freedom.

At its heart, the song is about carving out a pocket of time – a month, a day, even just an hour – to reconnect, breathe, and explore. “All is allowed,” Noah repeats, turning Destination ailleurs into a mantra that gives you permission to unplug and dream. Whether you leave Paris or just your living room, the message is clear: the real voyage is the shared moment of escape and the promise of going “even further” together.
