Promis Lyrics in English Emmanuel Moire

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Promis by Emmanuel Moire from French to English.
Promise
I don't want the moon
I'm asking for nothing
Promise
Just the two of us on the dunes
I don't need it
Promise
If you give me the choice
I'm asking for nothing
Promise
No stone on your finger
No house, no garden
It's promised
No wood, no iron
No cross for my good
If I go to hell
It'll be by other paths
It's promised
No hand on my heart
But my heart on yours
Your heart on mine
Put your heart on mine
Promise
I only want your voice
Waking up my mornings
Your lips when it's cold, that
I do want
It's promised
No wood, no iron
No cross for my good
If I go to hell
It'll be by other paths
It's promised
No hand on my heart
But my heart on yours
Your heart on mine
Put your heart on mine
It's promised
Just your heart on mine
Just your heart on mine... on mine
No wood, no iron
No cross for my good
No hand on my heart
But my heart on yours
It's promised
No wood, no iron
No cross for my good
If I go to hell
It'll be by other paths
It's promised
No hand on my heart
But my heart on yours
Your heart on mine
Put your heart on mine
Your heart on mine
Put your heart on mine
Promise
Promise
Promise

SONG MEANING

Promis feels like a love letter written in minimalist ink: Emmanuel Moire sweeps away grand gestures and glittering gifts to remind us that the truest treasure is simply being together. When he sings that he does not want the moon, a ring, or even a garden, he is really saying, “All that sparkle is just scenery.” What matters is the warm sound of a lover’s voice in the morning and the comfort of lips against winter’s chill. Each c’est promis—“I promise”—is a gentle vow that emotional closeness outweighs any material prize.

The chorus keeps repeating images of wood, iron, and crosses only to dismiss them, hinting that neither wealth nor ritual nor even moral judgment can compete with a genuine heartbeat-to-heartbeat bond. Picture two people standing on sun-kissed dunes, hands free of trophies, hearts pressed together like matching puzzle pieces. That is Moire’s simple but powerful message: real love asks for nothing except the courage to lay your heart on another’s chest and feel it answer back.
