I'm leaving today
Far from my friends, from your friends
Who will say whatever they want
Behind my back (in my back)
I won't hear a word they say (I won't know a word of it)

S'il le faut je me ferai teindre en blonde
Si jamais tu me revois
Je te promets que tu ne me reconnaîtras pas

I'm heading for the ends of the earth (lit.: the end of the world)
If necessary I'll become a blond
