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 the parents

We'll take all the time we need

I keep you to myself

From Paris or anywhere else

If you follow me

We'll take the best

Everything's allowed

And if it suits us

We'll go even further

Destination elsewhere

We can close the door a bit

Forget the others a little

The car and the city

We could turn off the TV

Our two phones and head out

You and me for once

From Paris or anywhere else

If you follow me

We'll take the best

Everything's allowed

And if it suits us

We'll go even further

Destination elsewhere

We can take a break in our lives

Maybe that's not bad either

From Paris or anywhere else

If you follow me

We'll take the best

Everything's allowed

And if it suits us

We'll go even further

Destination

Destination elsewhere

If you'd like

A month, a day, an hour

We don't know

So follow me

From Paris or anywhere else

If you follow me

We'll take the best

Everything's 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.
