Envole-moi
Jean-Jacques Goldman
Fly Me Away
Midnight rises at the top of the towers
Voices fall silent and everything becomes blind and deaf
The night conceals for a few hours
The dirty area and the wrecks and the ugliness
I didn't choose to be born here
Between ignorance and violence and boredom
I'll make it, I promise myself
And if necessary, I'll use legal means
Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away
Away from this fate that sticks to my skin
Fly me away, fly me away
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
Fly me away
No questions or rebellion
Rules of the game set but the dice are loaded
Winter is ice, summer is fire
Here, there's never a season to be better
I didn't choose to live here
Between submission, fear, or abandonment
I'll make it, I swear to you
With books, I'll break through all these walls
Fly me away
Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away
Away from this fate that sticks to my skin
Fly me away, fly me away
Fill my head with other horizons, other words
Fly me away
Don't leave me here, take me away, fly me away
Meet other eyes that don't resign
Fly me away, pull me out of here
Show me those other lives that I don't know
Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away
Look at me well, I don't resemble them
Don't leave me here, fly me away
With or without you, I won't end up like this
Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away...
