CIEL Lyrics In English Translation – GIMS

[Intro: GIMS]
The repetition of the word "Ciel" (sky) introduces a mystical and dreamy tone. It suggests the presence of something otherworldly or divine coming from above, setting the stage for the metaphor of someone falling from the sky, representing a mysterious or magical woman entering the singer’s life.

[Pré-refrain: GIMS]
Here, GIMS reflects on the unpredictable nature of the woman in his life. He describes her as a "magicienne" (magician), someone with the power to create illusions, which could explain why she brings both wonder and trouble into his world. The reference to a nightmare and the Ferrari hints at a sense of luxury and indulgence that also comes with hidden dangers, as he recovers his vision, metaphorically regaining clarity after being blinded by her charm.

[Refrain: GIMS]
In this section, GIMS emphasizes the woman's magical and otherworldly nature. He repeats that she "fell from the sky" and is a "magician," underscoring the impact she has on him. The exclamations show both awe and vulnerability, as if he is caught in her spell and can't help but be mesmerized by her presence.

[Couplet 1: GIMS]
GIMS explores the complexities of love and self-realization in this verse. He addresses the false nature of someone’s love, recognizing that it might have been insincere. He also reflects on the choices people make and the way they shape their lives. This realization brings him a sense of closure, as he acknowledges that life isn't always what it seems and that every decision has consequences. The line about keeping the "beautiful images" shows that even though things didn’t work out, he holds onto the good memories.

[Pré-refrain: GIMS]
Once again, the pre-chorus reiterates the woman's magical qualities and the effect she has on his life. The imagery of being lost in a nightmare and rediscovering clarity in a "Ferrari" suggests a journey through confusion and eventual understanding, with material wealth being a temporary solution to deeper emotional challenges.

[Refrain: GIMS]
In repeating the refrain, GIMS emphasizes the power this woman holds over him. He acknowledges her as both a magician and someone who has fallen into his life like a divine being. The repetition underlines the impact of this magical figure on his emotions, blending awe with a sense of helplessness.

[Couplet 2: GIMS]
This verse delves into the emotional toll of the relationship. GIMS admits to lying to the woman, which could represent a breakdown in trust. He feels haunted by the fear of losing her, with the broken glass metaphor symbolizing irreparable damage. This verse conveys deep regrets and doubts, suggesting that the relationship has left scars that cannot be easily healed.

[Pré-refrain: GIMS]
The pre-chorus once more emphasizes the duality of this woman’s influence on GIMS, portraying her as both enchanting and dangerous. His dream-like state is shattered when he regains his vision, symbolizing the awakening from her spell, but not without lingering effects. The Ferrari once again symbolizes his attempt to find clarity in the midst of chaos.

[Refrain: GIMS]
Reiterating the chorus for a final time, GIMS continues to emphasize the central metaphor of the woman falling from the sky and being a magician. The repeated emphasis on her magical nature reinforces the idea that she has transformed his world, for better or for worse.

[Outro: GIMS]
The outro brings the song to a reflective close. GIMS acknowledges once more that the woman is a magician, someone who has brought both wonder and confusion into his life. The repetition of "Oh oui!" suggests a sense of resignation or acceptance, as he remains under her spell, perhaps unsure of how to escape but deeply affected by her presence.
