Reste encore [English translation]

Outside time threads

Its fleeting hours

(And) so pass the days

That turn into night

The fragile present

Is only a fanciful dream

(And) so idols cry

For their fading glory

Stay a while

Forget about time

Stay for just

A little while

Like summer

Stay a while

A while

Like childhood

Stay for just

A little while

(And) so flowers go away

On an autumn morning

And sandcastles

are carried away by the sea

And so pass the dreams

That love leaves behind

An instant is fragile

And so an angel passes

But it’s already yesterday

Stay a while

Forget about time

Stay for just

A while

Like the summer

Stay a while

A while

Alas, time

Is victorious

Ouh la la

Nothing but

The future lasts

As soon as we’re happy

The bliss fades away

But we can always dream

Of making the day longer

So, so

Stay a while, stay a while

Outside everything is moving

And men exaggerate

And so ice goes

Engulfed by lakes

Years leave us

And the world gets faster

And so atolls die

And everything is over.

Stay a while

Forget about time

Stay for just

A little while

Like summer

Stay a while

A while

Like childhood

Stay for just

A little while
