Loin d'ici

Et quand tu chantes, oui moi je chante aussi
Quand tu t'élances, je suis
Et quand tu voles, oui moi je vole aussi
Si tu t'élances, j'te suis

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante, on chante

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante

Et quand la route nous semble sans issue
Sans aucun doute j'te suis
Sans aucun doute, même si on s'ra perdu
Sans aucun doute j'te suis

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante, on chante

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante, on chante

On chante et on danse et on rit
On s'élance, réuni
Enivré dans l'imprudence

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante, on chante

Dans un pays loin d'ici
À la recherche du paradis
Dans un pays loin d'ici
On chante, on chante

(Dans un pays loin d'ici) Dans un pays
(À la recherche du paradis) Du paradis
(Dans un pays loin d'ici) Dans un pays
On chante, on chante

(Dans un pays loin d'ici)
On chante, on chante, on danse, on danse
(À la recherche du paradis) Dans un pays

(Dans un pays loin d'ici)
On chante, on chante, on danse, on danѕe
(On chаnte) Loin d'ici

Far From Here

When you sing, I will sing along
When you go for it, I follow
And when you fly, yes I will fly with you
When you go for it, I follow

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing, they're singing

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing

Even if the road seams to be a dead end
Undoubtedly I'm with you
Undoubtedly, even if we lost
Undoubtedly I'm with you

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing, they're singing

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing, they're singing

They sing and dance and laugh
They go for it, all together
Tipsy, into carelessness

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing, they're singing

In a land, far from here
Searching for the paradise
In a land far from here
They're singing, they're singing

(In a land, far from here) In a land
(Searching for the paradise) Paradise
(In a land far from here) In a land
They're singing, they're singing

(In a land, far from here)
They sing, they sing, they dance, they dance
(In a land, far from here) In a land

(In a land, far from here)
They sing, they sing, they dance, they dance
(They ѕing) Fаr from here

Fern von hier

Und sobald du singst, ja, dann singe ich auch
Sobald du dich aufmachst, folge ich dir
Und sobald du fliegst, ja, ich, ich fliege auch
Wenn du dich aufmachst, folge ich dir

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

Und wenn unser Weg in die Irre führt
Werde ich dir ganz sicher folgen
Ganz sicher, selbst wenn wir verloren wären
Ganz sicher werde ich dir folgen

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

Man singt und man tanzt und man lacht
Man geht auseinander und kommt wieder zusammen
Berauscht in seinem Leichtsinn

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

In einem fernen Land
Auf der Suche nach dem Paradies
In einem fernen Land
Singt man, singt man

(In einem fernen Land) In einem Land
(auf der Suche nach dem Paradies) des Paradieses
(in einem fernen Land) in einem Land
Singt man, singt man

(In einem fernen Land)
Man singt, man singt, man tanzt, man tanzt
(auf der Suche nach dem Paradies) in einem Land

(In einem fernen Land)
Man singt, man singt, man tanzt, man tanzt
(mаn ѕingt) fern von hier
