Envole-moi [English translation]

Midnight rises, at the top of the towers

The voices fall silent

And everything becomes blind and deaf

The night is hiding for few hours

The dirty places and the wrecks and the ugliness

I didn't choose to be born here

Between ignorance and violence and boredom

I'm gonna beat it1, I promise

And if necessary, I will use legal means

Fly me away2 {x3}

Away from this fate which is sticked to my skin

Fly me away {x2}

Fill my head with other horizons, other words

Fly me away

No questions or rebellions

Rules of game fixed but the dice are loaded

Winter is ice, summer is fire

Here there's never a season to fell better

I didn't choose to be born here

Between the submission, the fear or the abandonment

I'm gonna beat it, I swear to you

With some books, I'll cross all these walls

Fly me away {x3}

Away from this fate which is sticked to my skin

Fly me away {x2}

Fill my head with other horizons, other words

Fly me away

Don't leave me here, take me away, fly me away

To meet other eyes that aren't resigned

Fly me away, get me out of here

Show me these other lives that I don't know

Fly me away {x3}

Look at me closely, I don't look like them

Don't leave me here, fly me away

With or without you, I'll not end up like this

Fly me away, fly me away, fly me away...
