Juste Un Instant Lyrics in English M. Pokora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juste Un Instant by M. Pokora from French to English.
Even with all the gold in the world
Some things you can't buy
no
Everything the years steal from us
Nothing and nobody will give it back
no
Give me a bit of you before everything slips away
Give me a bit of you and I'll measure up
Give me your hand so we can stop time
And just for a moment, you and I
Maybe it's right now
That our story's being written
Yeah just a moment, dance with me
Before life slips through our fingers
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
And even with the hands of a clock
You can't stitch the past back up
no, no
We push love off till later
But tomorrow isn't ours
no, no
Give me a bit of you before everything slips away
Give me a bit of you and I'll measure up
Give me your hand so we can stop time
And just for a moment, you and I
Maybe it's right now
That our story's being written
Yeah just a moment, dance with me
Before life slips through our fingers
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
Outro
I wanna hear you sing, hey
I wanna hear you sing, hey
I wanna hear you sing, hey
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me
I wanna hear you sing
Sing with me

SONG MEANING

What if all the gold in the world could not buy you a single extra second? That is the urgent question beating at the heart of M. Pokora’s "Juste Un Instant." The French pop star invites us to pause the relentless ticking of the clock and savor the magic of right now. Wrapped in a dance-floor rhythm, he reminds us that time, love, and shared memories cannot be purchased or rewound. Instead of letting "la vie nous file entre les doigts" (life slip through our fingers), he urges his partner to take his hand, sing out loud, and let their story begin this very instant.

Beneath the catchy chorus, the message is clear: tomorrow is never guaranteed, so give me "un peu de toi" – a little of yourself – before everything fades. The song celebrates spontaneity, human connection, and living in the moment, turning a simple request to dance into a heartfelt manifesto against procrastinating love. Whether you are swaying in a club or humming along in your room, "Juste Un Instant" is a sparkling reminder to seize the present and make every heartbeat count.
