by SMF · Published August 7, 2017 · Updated September 8, 2020

Voyage, Voyage is a song performed by French singer Desireless . The lyrics of the song, which are entirely written in French, talk about traveling – traveling to many beautiful, wonderful and sacred destinations all over the world. The French word for “travel”, as some readers might already know, is “voyage”. So the English translation of the title “Voyage Voyage” is “Travel Travel”. Lyrically, Voyage, Voyage encourages the listener to travel and travel and never stop traveling

In the song, some of the notable and wonderful places mentioned include the following:

• Mount Fuji (Fujiyama), which at a height of 12, 389 ft, is the highest mountain in Japan.
• The Ganges (also known as Ganga), which is a famous river that flows through Bangladesh and India. The Ganges is one of the largest rivers in the world and a lifeline to millions of people in the two countries that it passes through.
• The legendary Amazon rainforest located in South America.
• The Sahara desert, which is located in North Africa. The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world.

Thank you I always wondered what the song was about, now if only someone could explain the video LOL

Yeah! Especially with the globe inflating guy next to the tall super random dancing guy

Travel abroad gives one new perspectives and you’re exosed to new ideas.

Thus enabling you to recognize the Insane Asylum you escaped from.

This song, in my opinion, is about totally the opposite of encouragement to travel. It is a twist.

The fact that the artist is also called Desireless (without desires) points to a different meaning. The song is about being drawn by the external World and the senses, where people loose themselves in desires. At a point you can see a reference to a Hindu God in those images on the wall, which might point to a more philosophical interpretation as well.

There is also this part of lyrics: “Travel, travel, further than the night and the day Travel, in spaces unheard of by love” “spaces unhears of by love” seems to point out that those travels, which people are supposedly encouraged to, are actually worldy things that take them away from Love – the true meaning of life.

Notice also how the artist is stopping and looking directly at you with a cold look, possibly asking you: “do you really think that those travels and pleasures bring you closer to love and life?”.

What do you think?

i think you got the key

Reminds me of 1980s ski trips

@daniel michalski very thoughtful and intelligent comment, thank you. True Art is seldomly one dimensional so it revers the piece and the spectator to inspire those interesting insights.

Intelligent comment and thank you for sharing. Here is my interpretation of the video. I see people gambling with a love of money, people eating like a glutton, people kissing…doing strange things and then all these people end up meeting in front of the slide show. sometimes we are too caugh in our lives and “desires” that we forget to “open” ourselves and see the real world….The lyrics evoke travel departures while implicitly evoking a spiritual dimension via the inner journey. Desireless is seen singing while slides of different destinations are projected behind her. In the background, she invites travelers to reach a tropical destination. The other option is that This clip is set in a mental hospital, is much darker than it looks

I agree! Especially with: “The lyrics evoke travel departures while implicitly evoking a spiritual dimension via the inner journey.”

I think Daniel is pretty spot on with the meaning. Only listening to the lyrics and watching the music video are two entirely different songs. Regarding the video, it seems the song is more sensually oriented. The lyrics: “Travel Travel Voyage, voyage

On the sacred water of an Indian river (journey, journey) Sur l’eau sacrée d’un fleuve indien (voyage, voyage)”

seem to encourage this type of pursuit, although it will in the end be fruitless. You have an old businessman dancing with a young man and kicking the world away, like he does not care. It all seems very French hah!

My Hero Academia Season 4 Ending Theme 1 Lyrics (Romanized)

Boku no Hero Academia Season 4 Ending Theme 1 Lyrics (Romanized)

手にしたい光がある君は今　寄る辺も無くひとりで岐路に立つ もう後戻りできぬように、と今　横切る不安を殺して帰路を断つ

失いがたい光だった　優しい易しい　あいだった それでも、君は行くんだろ 足りないものは足りないままで構わないよ、今から探しにいこう

強さは要らない　何も持って無くていい　信じるそれだけでいい この先でどんな痛みが襲ってもそれだけが君を救うだろう 臆せず　歩き出せ

印は無い一生を“今日”という瞬間に切り分けて 一歩に息を吹き込んでいる 醜さも晒しながら静かにめくりめく日常に　理想に身を焦がす

ねぇ目を閉じて　心を聞いて 見つめた願い今もまだ歌い続けてる　月の下 立ち向かう足が震えていたって間違いじゃない 迷っても逃げたくはない

選んだ未来は誰も知らない夜を縫い　彷徨う君だけの海 無傷では何も勝ち取れないと知って　動き出した呼吸を捉えたよ まだ　明日に届かなくても

破れた地図の先を記し始めた　海の真ん中 正解なんて無いね　分かっていても痛むもの ねぇ、多くを望んでる？いるわけじゃない ただ無くせないもの一つ守るために 新しい扉の先　船は進んでく

強さは要らない　何も持って無くていい　信じるそれだけでいい この先でどんな痛みが襲ってもそれだけが君を救うだろう 心音が震える方角へ　臆せず　歩き出せ

There is a light you want so now you stand alone at a crossroads with nowhere else to go Making sure there’s no going back, now you stifle a fleeting sense of anxiety as you cut off all ways to go back home

It was a light so hard to let go, it was a gentle, easy love And yet, you’ll still go Doesn’t matter if some things are left lacking, we can start to look for them right now Don’t need to be strong, doesn’t matter if you have nothing, just as long as you believe That will be the one thing that saves you, no matter what kind of pain awaits in the future Go forth without hesitation

Cut up your unmarked life into pieces of moments called today Breathing life into that each step Consumed by passion for your ideals, for your quietly dazzling daily life while also revealing a horrible side Hey, close your eyes and open your heart Under this moon, I still sing of my hopes I longed for Even if my legs tremble as I strive forth, I still made the right choice Though I may hesitate, I don’t want to run away from it

The future you chose weaves through an unknown night, drifting in an ocean just for you Learning that winning always comes at a cost, caught my breath just as it began to move Even if it won’t reach tomorrow just yet

In the middle of the ocean, marking the destination on a ripped map There’s no right answer, I know that yet it’s still painful Hey, am I asking for too much? Not really But to protect the one thing I can’t lose The ship moves forward beyond the new door

Don’t need to be strong, doesn’t matter if you have nothing, just as long as you believe That will be the one thing that saves you, no matter what kind of pain awaits in the future To the direction that your heartbeat trembles, go forth without hesitation
