Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
L'immense soleil qui nous nourrit.
Juillet s'en vient enfin
Ainsi que ton sourire.
Nous avons dormi toute une année,
A présent réveillons nous,
Allons recueillir l'ivresse
Qui vogue dans l'air de l'été.
Juillet s'en vient
Notre cœur dégèle
Je me sens si léger.

This morning, I saw reappear
The immense sun which feeds us
July is finally coming closer,
And so is your smile
We have slept for a whole year
Now, let's all awake
Let's go and collect the euphoria
Drifting on the summer wind
July is coming closer,
Our heart unfreezes
I feel so light

This morning I saw it appear again
This immense sun, it's nourishing warmth
July is coming back, at last
And so is your smile.
We have been sleeping a whole year long
Now, time has come to wake up,
To soak up the exhilaration,
Gently filling the summer air.
July is coming back
To warm up our hearts
And I am feeling so light.

ग्रीष्म गरिमा
यो बिहान, मैले फेरी उदाउँदो देखें
त्यो असिम सुर्य जुन हामीलाई भरण गर्दैछ।
असार अन्तत: नजिकिंदैछ
संगै तिम्रो मुस्कान पनि।
हामी पुरै बर्ष निदायौं
अब आऔं ब्युझौ,
जाऔं ,सुखबोध वटुलौं
ग्रीष्म हावामा बहदै।
असार नजिकिंदैछ
हाम्रो कक्रेको हृदय पगाल्दै,
मलाई हलुको आभाष गराँउदै ।

This song reminds me of last summer. I spent most of it in the park with my friends just sitting in a circle sharing stories, making music and drinking beer till the sun went down. I was so tanned back then... Listening to this song makes me nostalgic for those days and also hopefull for this years summer!

The most beautiful music in the world I have heard since Peter Steele had gone. It makes me happy and melancholy at the same time. Totally in love with this music.

A friend from work told me about this band and he said to get this album especially. I thought it would be just another metall cd but DAMN.... This is a level of pure bliss that I haven't experienced since my first girlfriend. I sit here with a 2x 7.2 speaker system and it is the closest thing I have ever been to heaven. and NO I am not a virgin ;)

Beautifull song :') This is pure love, Neige truly is a genius. Being able to create such a beautifull and emotional song. Can listen to this for hours..
I'm Scott. I'm a Dick
This song is so beautiful, that it hurts.
Saw these guys twice on their US Tour 2017 in St. Louis and Nashville. Would do it again 10000000 times.
They're a perfect band. Nothing speaks to emotions better than this...

It's 5 years later.... and in the years my music taste is becoming bigger and bigger, but still want this song for my funeral! i know its weird too think about that while im still young but its just because it makes my world standing still for a moment and it's giving me chills everytime i hear this song.. I hope they feel chills too, so they will remember this AWESOME song and all the happy memories!!! this song is so underated.

Neige is as good as he has always been I find, and like he says, he's music gets just "warmer", neither better nor worse
