Reste [English translation]

We left each other

And, suddenly, there, it's curious

We meet face to face

We thought we'd never see each other again

Because after one scene, one evening,

I told you: "Leave! It's all erased!"

Now that it's all really over

And our hearts recovered,

Don't think about lovely gestures anymore.

Let's simply be friends.

No, don't leave. Just for a little while...

Let's go, let's see, I beg you...

Stay...

Stay, so we can talk a bit

About the times when we were happy

Because we had those times, I suppose.

At this moment my emotion-filled heart

doesn't really recall

Our divine moments anymore.

The bad we have done,

Little by little, disappears

When I bring to mind all the rest

Your trembling hand between my fingers...

You remember...then why

Do you want to leave already?

Stay...

Stay! Unless, I'm afraid,

Nothing exists anymore deep in your heart.

Are you living for another?

... Yes? Well, you don't love me anymore!

A new love has come

Replacing the trace of ours.

Ah! You are going to meet her this evening...

What desire, what hope,

Suddenly manifests itself within you.

Oh no! Not yet! I don't want to!

You won't walk into her arms!

You won't, do you hear?

Stay!

Stay! Oh excuse me...I suffer too much!

I am here and I say words

That let you see my distress...

Without you, every night I cry

And in finding you again, I hoped for

At least a surge of tenderness...

But what? Tears in your eyes?

Is it remorse, is it a farewell?

See, I have nothing left but one final gesture,

And it's to offer you my poor heart

Within which all of our happiness survived...

Oh, honey! You stay! You stay...
