Reste

We had both said goodbye
And suddenly, it’s strange,
Here we are face to face
We thought we’d never meet again
Since after a scene, one night,
I told you: "Go! Let it all fade away!"
Now that everything’s really over
And our hearts have found their way back
Let’s just think of the sweet moments
Let’s talk as friends, simply
No! Don’t go! Just for a moment…
Come on, please…
Stay…

Stay so we can talk a bit
About the time when we were happy
Because I imagine we were
In this moment, my heart moved
Really can’t remember anymore…
Of our divine minutes
The pain we caused each other
Little by little fades away
When I think of all the rest
Your hand trembles between my fingers…
Do you remember… so why
Want to leave already?
Stay…

Stay! Unless deep in your heart
Nothing exists anymore, I fear
Is your life with someone else?
Yeah? Then, you don’t love me anymore!
A new love has come
To replace the trace of ours
Ah! You’re going to find it tonight…
Also, what desire, what hope
Suddenly manifests in you
Oh no! Not again! I don’t want this!...
You won’t go into their arms!
You won’t go, do you hear?
Stay!

Stay! Oh, I’m sorry!... I’m hurting too much!
I’m here and I’m saying words
That show you my distress…
Without you, every night I cried
And finding you again, I hoped
At least for a spark of tenderness…
But what? Tears in your eyes?!
Is it remorse, is it goodbye?
Look, I have just one last gesture,
And it’s to offer you my poor heart
Where all our happiness survives…
Oh! Darling!... You’re staying!... You’re staying…
