48 hours from my heart
You stay there
I feel it, I see you
48 hours from my heart
Don't leave me
The lack haunts me, I wait
48 hours from your heart
I rush, I cry
It's been a long time already
48 hours from your heart
The passion is felt
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
48 hours from my heart
You live your life, your life, your madness
And then I scream
48 hours from my heart
Why did you leave so quickly
Your promises ended
48 hours from my heart
48 hours from your heart
A bit of resentment
But we always find each other
48 hours from your heart
You and me, the return
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Let go of those who flee from you
Let yourself be guided on the thread that
Brings you back to me
For a future forever linked, for you
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
48 hours from my heart
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart
I had followed you, you had felt me
Two days from here
Two days from you
Two days from here
Two days from you, my heart

SONG MEANING

“48 Heures” captures the breathless rush of being so close yet still apart. Stéphane sings from the edge of a 48-hour gap, a tiny slice of time that suddenly feels like an ocean. He counts every minute, sensing his lover’s presence, replaying promises, and pleading ne m’laisse pas (don’t leave me). The repeated Italian phrase cuore mio (“my heart”) keeps looping like a heartbeat, reminding us that even when two bodies are separated, their hearts can hover just two days away. Longing, a hint of anger, and huge bursts of passion collide while he wonders why love can vanish “so quickly” and hopes it can race back just as fast.

Yet underneath the anxiety runs an unshakable hope: “On se retrouve toujours”—we always find each other. The singer urges his partner to ignore people who run away and to follow the invisible thread that ties them together. In the end, 48 hours turns from a painful countdown into a promise of reunion, proving that real love can survive any short-lived distance when both hearts keep beating in sync.
