Discover the story of the song > Du Vent Des Mots – Garou

The protagonist is expressing regret and remorse for his past actions, admitting that he has made mistakes. He promises that if his partner gives him another chance, he will change and be different. His partner is hesitant and refers to his words as just empty promises, comparing them to a sail on a boat that ultimately disappears with the wind. The protagonist offers to give his partner everything she wants, from treasures to destinations, if she would just give him a chance to start over. He reflects on their lost dreams and fears losing her, hoping that she can turn his mistakes into a new beginning. Despite the protagonist's pleas, his partner sees through his words, describing them as false and as mere notes from his piano that create a temporary illusion. She feels disgusted and hurt by the mundane reality of shattered dreams. The protagonist reminds her of their past happiness and his innocence, comparing it to a torn childhood. He sees a new wind of freedom but realizes that it is either too late or too early to make a fresh start. Nevertheless, he suggests starting over and taking on new adventures together, while his partner wishes him well on his journey.
