Rétine Lyrics in English Amir

Home / Lyrics Translation / Amir / Rétine

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rétine by Amir from French to English.

It started from nothing

Barely a glance exchanged

We were two, two strangers

Who knew each other well

It started from afar

I didn't want to open up

But you stole my modesty

Heaven's a witness

How many days, how many joys

It doesn't matter if we don't know

Since a second by your side's worth years

How many days, how many people

Will say we stubbornly love each other

But it amuses me, my muse

We're nowhere near wilting

If love in your eyes

Can't stand daylight anymore

I'll relight the stars around

I'll learn to count up to forever

And you can count on me

And it'll never end

It'll never end

And it'll never end

It'll never end

I know we fit together

Like soft lips and salty skin

Like when our bodies let go

The ocean's a witness

I love your quirks, our magic

The way you're my friend

I'm not superstitious but you're the luck of my life

And if tomorrow we had nothing left

I'd say thanks, not goodbye

For leaving a bright clearing in my storms

If love in your eyes

Can't stand daylight anymore

I'll relight the stars around

I'll learn to count up to forever

And you can count on me

And it'll never end

It'll never end

And it'll never end

It'll never end

If love in your eyes

Can't stand daylight anymore

I'll relight the stars around

I'll learn to count up to forever

And you can count on me

SONG MEANING

“Rétine” is Amir’s sparkling love letter to the moment two strangers lock eyes and the universe shifts. The song begins with a simple glance that snowballs into an all-consuming romance, where time loses meaning and even the sky and ocean become witnesses. Amir sings about shedding his shyness, celebrating quirky habits, and promising that if love ever fades from his partner’s rétine (retina), he will reignite the stars and count “up to forever” so their story never wilts.

At its heart, the track is a joyful pledge of unfading devotion. Whether they have “days or years,” riches or nothing at all, he insists their bond will outshine any darkness. It is a playful yet heartfelt reminder that true love isn’t measured in clocks or calendars—it’s measured in the willingness to keep the light glowing, no matter what. Listeners are invited to believe in love that laughs at obstacles and promises, quite simply, “Ça finira jamais” (“It will never end”).
