You lived just over in the house on the corner, And we'd listen for the birds, meet in the morning, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
You'd walk up the road with a stick in your hand, Nothing to fear, nothing planned, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
We together like mountains and rivers, Like a leaf and a tree, an arrow and a quiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
We go together like moonlight and silver, And if you were the cold, I’d be the shiver, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.
Can't go back to the world behind us, I'm not ready for the ghosts that’ll find us, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Living for today, not tomorrow, Paying forward the love that we borrow, Take my hand, now, and lead on.
Oh they're gonna say we'll never make it, Don’t get me wrong, we're going to make it, We're going to be the leaders of the world, Lead on.

Tous les jours tu me parles d'amour, comme ça,
Tu me parles tout bas, tu me parles d'amour,

Et pourtant tu n'es plus une enfant,

mais les mots que tu dis ont toujours la force et la fureur du volcan.

Tu vois moi aussi malgres mes mains d'homme,

je suis l'adolescent ,

je suis l'enfant,

sans autre ambition que de te suivre en courant du Vesuve jusqu'à Rome,

avec la determination de la lave en fusion.

Des mots d'enfant des mots de femme,

des mots qui jouent des tours de vague-à-l'âme,
Et quand tu me parles tout bas, de chansons et d'amour,
tu es la source profonde, l'éruption de lave en fusion.

Tu vois moi aussi avec mes mains d'homme,

je suis l'adolescent ,

je suis l'enfant, sans aucune autre ambition,

que de te suivre en courant du Vesuve jusqu'à Rome,

avec la folle determination de la lave en fusion.
