Là-bas

Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage

Libre continent sans grillage

Ici, nos rêves sont étroits

C'est pour ça que j'irai là-bas

Là-bas

Faut du cœur et faut du courage

Mais tout est possible à mon âge

Si tu as la force et la foi

L'or est à portée de tes doigts

C'est pour ça que j'irai là-bas

N'y va pas

Y a des tempêtes et des naufrages

Le feu, les diables et les mirages

Je te sais si fragile parfois

Reste au creux de moi

On a tant d'amour à faire

Tant de bonheur à venir

Je te veux mari et père

Et toi, tu rêves de partir

Ici, tout est joué d'avance

Et l'on n'y peut rien changer

Tout dépend de ta naissance

Et moi je ne suis pas bien né

Là-bas

Loin de nos vies, de nos villages

J'oublierai ta voix, ton visage

J'ai beau te serrer dans mes bras

Tu m'échappes déjà, là-bas

J'aurai ma chance, j'aurai mes droits

N'y va pas

Et la fierté qu'ici je n'ai pas

Là-bas

Tout ce que tu mérites est à toi

N'y va pas

Ici, les autres imposent leur loi

Là-bas

Je te perdrai peut-être là-bas

N'y va pas

Mais je me perds si je reste là

Là-bas

La vie ne m'a pas laissé le choix

N'y va pas

Toi et moi, ce sera là-bas ou pas

Là-bas

Tout est neuf et tout est sauvage

N'y va pas

Libre continent sans grillage

Là-bas

Beau comme on n'imagine pas

N'y va pas

Ici, même nos rêves sont étroits

Là-bas

C'est pour ça que j'irai là-bas

N'y va pas

On ne m'a pas laissé le choix

Là-bas

Je me perds si je reste là

N'y va pas

C'est pour ça que j'irai là-bas.

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean: I am the one

Who could dance on the floor in the round

She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round

She told me her name was Billie Jean

As she caused a scene

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed

Of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

People always told me: Be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

My mother always told me: Be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do, 'cause the lie becomes the truth

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

For forty days and forty nights

The law was on her side

But who can stand when she's in demand

Her schemes and plans

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice

Just remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)

She told: My baby, that's a threat

As she looked at me

Then showed a photo of a baby crying

Eyes were like mine

Go on dance on the floor in the round, baby

People always told me be careful of what you do

And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

But she came and stood right by me

Just to smell her sweet perfume

This happened much too soon

She called me to her room

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

Billie Jean is not my lover

She's just a girl who claims that I am the one

(No, she is not just my baby)

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

She says I am the one

(You know what you did)

She says he is my son

(Breaking my heart, babe)

She says I am the one

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

Billie Jean is not my lover

(Call me, Billie Jean)

Billie Jean is not my lover

(She is not at the scene)

Billie Jean is not my lover.

Remember when you were young?

You shone like the sun.

Shine on, you crazy diamond

Now there's a look in your eyes

Like black holes in the sky

Shine on, you crazy diamond

You were caught in the crossfire

Of childhood and stardom,

Blown on the steel breeze

Come on you target

For faraway laughter;

Come on you stranger, you legend,

You martyr, and shine

You reached for the secret

Too soon

You cried for the moon

Shine on, you crazy diamond

Threatened by shadows at night

And exposed in the light

Shine on, you crazy diamond

Well, you wore out your welcome

With random precision

Rode on the steel breeze

Come on you raver, you seer of visions;

Come on you painter, you piper,

You prisoner, and shine

Nobody knows where you are,

How near or how far

Shine on, you crazy diamond

Pile on many

More layers

And i'll be joining you there

Shine on, you crazy diamond

And we'll bask in the shadow

Of yesterday's triumph

And sail on the steel breeze

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

Come on you miner for truth and delusion,

And shine.
