Volons Vers La Lune
Carol Welsman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Volons vers La Lune
Vers Saturne et ses anneaux
Volons vers Vénus et Mars
En capsule Apollo

En d′autres mots, d'autres termes
Dis-moi ces mots, dis que tu m′aimes
Hélons un taxi
Vers une autre galaxie
Pour voir si ailleurs, il y a
Des gens comme vous et moi

En d'autres mots, d'autres termes...
En d′autres mots, que je "t′aime"

Prenons l'autobus
Vers Pluton, vers Uranus
Partons voir si notre idylle
Scintille sur la Grande Ourse

En d′autres mots, d'autres termes
Dis-moi ces mots, dis que tu m′aimes

En prose ou en vers
Laisse-moi te dire encore
Que tu es le seul
Que j'adore dans l′univers

En d'autres mots, d'autres termes
En d′autres mots, dis-moi ces mots




En d′autres mots, d'autres termes...
En d′autres mots, que je "t'aime"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carol Welsman's "Volons Vers La Lune" express a desire to explore the unknown, to go on an adventure and discover what lies out there in the universe beyond our planet. The song starts with an invitation to "Fly to the moon, to Saturn and its rings, to Venus and Mars, in Apollo capsules" implying a yearning for exploration beyond our Earth's atmosphere. In the next verse, the lyrics suggest taking a taxi to another galaxy to find out if there are others like us out there, seeking connection and belonging. The chorus is an invitation to express love and affection, perhaps as a partner in the adventure or a message to someone staying behind.


As the song progresses, the lyrics continue to reference various celestial bodies, such as Pluto and Uranus, as destinations for the adventure. The repeated chorus emphasizes the importance of love in this exploration journey. The final verse of the song romanticizes the love and affection by saying that the person is the only one adored in the universe.
