Reste Lyrics in English Gims , Sting

Reste is a poetic tug-of-war between devotion and doubt. Gims, the Congolese-French hitmaker, teams up with Sting to paint a nighttime landscape where love glows like the moon, sparks like fire in the rain, and blooms like a flower in the desert. The singer is mesmerized by a woman who both lights up his world and steals his sleep, leaving him to “roll the dice and take his chances” while he watches the sky for signs that her feelings are still there.

At the heart of the song is the haunting chorus « Mais tu iras où si jamais je m’en vais ? » – Where will you go if I leave? This looping question uncovers a deep fear of separation: he follows her footsteps like a shadow, terrified she might vanish. The dual voices and bilingual lyrics mirror the push-and-pull of their bond – hope versus anxiety, closeness versus distance. In the end, Reste feels like a passionate plea to freeze a perfect moment before it slips away, reminding listeners that love’s brightest light often shines in life’s darkest hours.
