Sous le Vent ("Under the Wind") sweeps us into a salty-air adventure where the singers trade lines like two friends standing at the rail of a boat. Garou reassures his loved one that he is not running away but simply giving his heart a holiday, hoisting a grande voile and letting the golden breeze push him forward. The song turns the act of taking a break into a daring voyage: imagine I’ve set sail, he says, picture me sliding smoothly beneath the wind, all while a shining star guides the way.
Céline answers that this pause is never a goodbye. She invites the listener to breathe in the night wind, close their eyes, and feel that even in distance they stay connected. Together they paint a picture of courage, renewal, and trust—reminding us that stepping back can fuel new momentum, and following our own star never means forgetting the people we love.
