To wander some lost paths across America
I would tell you that we would still be together
Until the end of days, even if the ground shakes
I would gladly take you to the other side of the Atlantic
Closer to the snows of our dreamy fantasies
But who will keep me standing until the end of the ravines
Who will make me run for a long time
Until tomorrow, until tomorrow
It's almost time to leave
Hold me back
It's almost time to leave
Stay there, look at me
For in your eyes that I soon won't be able to see
There are these things that resemble hope
And you still hold my body in your arms
I should also learn to walk straight on my own
To walk straight
It's almost time to leave
Hold me back
It's almost time to leave
Stay there, look at me
I would gladly take you to sail and travel the world
At the edge of the sky where our souls wander
I would gladly forget the city and its cement walls
To see life pass along the Saint Lawrence
