Sous Le Vent Lyrics in English Garou , Céline Dion

Home / Lyrics Translation / Garou / Sous Le Vent

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sous Le Vent by Garou from French to English.

And if you think I was scared

Wrong

I'm giving my heart a break

A bit of rest

And if you think I was wrong

Wait

Breathe a bit of golden breath

That pushes me forward

And

Act like I'd set sail

I've raised the mainsail

And I've slid under the wind

Act like I'm leaving land

I found my star

I followed it a moment

Under the wind

And if you think it's over

Never

It's just a pause, a break

After the dangers

And if you think I've forgotten you

Listen

Open your body to the night winds

And close your eyes

And

Act like I'd set sail

I've raised the mainsail

And I've slid under the wind

Act like I'm leaving land

I found my star

I followed it a moment

Under the wind

And if you think it's over

Never

It's just a pause, a break

After the dangers

Act like I'd set sail

I've raised the mainsail

And I've slid under the wind

Act like I'm leaving Earth

I found my star

I followed it a moment

Act like I'd set sail

I've raised the mainsail

And I've slid under the wind

Act like I'm leaving land

I found my star

I followed it a moment

Under the wind

SONG MEANING

Sous le Vent ("Under the Wind") sweeps us into a salty-air adventure where the singers trade lines like two friends standing at the rail of a boat. Garou reassures his loved one that he is not running away but simply giving his heart a holiday, hoisting a grande voile and letting the golden breeze push him forward. The song turns the act of taking a break into a daring voyage: imagine I’ve set sail, he says, picture me sliding smoothly beneath the wind, all while a shining star guides the way.

Céline answers that this pause is never a goodbye. She invites the listener to breathe in the night wind, close their eyes, and feel that even in distance they stay connected. Together they paint a picture of courage, renewal, and trust—reminding us that stepping back can fuel new momentum, and following our own star never means forgetting the people we love.
