Paroles/lyrics:
Y'a pas de voiles aux volets de mes frères
Y'a pas d'opale autour de mes doigts
Ni cathédrale où cacher mes prières
Juste un peu d'or autour de ma voix

There are no veils on my brother's house
There's no opal around my fingers
No cathedral where I can hide my prayers
Just little gold surrounding my voice

Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières
Je sens, j'écoute, et j'apprends, je vois
Le temps s'égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires
Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix?

I walk the roads, I go to the borders
I smell, I hear, I learn and I see
Time drips on by along all the time zones
I take, I give, did I have a choice?

Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent les heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur

That's my destiny
I make my own way
The time passes me by
My heart keeps on beating to a steady rhythm

Des feux d'été, je vole aux sombres hivers
Des pluies d'automne aux étés indiens
Terres gelées aux plus arides déserts
Je vais je viens, le monde est le mien

From summer lights I fly to somber winters
From autumn rains to Indian suns
From frozen grounds to the most arid deserts
I go, I come, this world is all mine

Je vis de notes et je vis de lumière
Je virevolte à vos cris, vos mains
La vie m'emporte au creux de tous ses mystères
Je vois dans vos yeux mes lendemains

I live from notes and I live from the light
I turn around at your cry, your hands
Life carries me, discover all its mysteries
I see in your eyes, my tomorrow

Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur

That's my destiny
I make my own way
The time passes me by
My heart keeps on beating to a steady rhythm

Je vais les routes et je vais les frontières
Je sens, j'écoute, et j'apprends, je vois
Le temps s'égoutte au long des fuseaux horaires
Je prends, je donne, avais-je le choix?

I walk the roads, I go to the borders
I smell, I hear, I learn and I see
Time drips on by along all the time zones
I take, I give, did I have a choice?

Je prends le blues aux signaux des répondeurs
Je prends la peine aux aéroports
Je vis l'amour à des kilomètres ailleurs
Et le bonheur à mon téléphone

I feel the blues from listening to my voicemail
I take the sadness to the airports
I live in love though I'm kilometers away
And happiness to my telephone

Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur

That's my destiny
I make my own way
The time passes me by
My heart keeps on beating to a steady rhythm

Tel est mon destin
Je vais mon chemin
Ainsi passent mes heures
Au rythme entêtant des battements de mon cœur

That's my destiny
I make my own way
The time passes me by
My heart keeps on beating to a steady rhythm
