Winter Song
Billie Marten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
To carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
'Cause you're not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
And life will find a way.





I'll be…

Overall Meaning

The start of winter brings a sense of melancholy that is familiar to many of us, and the first verse of Billie Marten's song "Winter Song" perfectly captures this feeling. The singer tells her listener that this is her winter song to them because she senses a storm is coming soon. The storm is like a metaphor for the struggles and turmoil that can come with winter. But Marten is not defeated by this storm, and instead offers her voice as a beacon in the night, promising her listener that her words will guide them to her through the darkness.


In the second verse, Marten touches on the idea that love can be hard to find in the winter. People say that nothing can grow beneath the winter snow, but the singer remains hopeful that love is still alive and well. She compares love to a distant star, always out of reach, but still something she can't help but hold onto. Marten believes that love is the light that can guide people through the toughest seasons, and the final verse reminds us that life will find a way.

Bende buraya çevirisini koyıyım o zaman

Bu sana olan kış şarkım
Fırtına yakında burada olur
Denizden güçlü bir şekilde geliyor
Sesim, gecede bir yol gösterici ışık
Sözlerim ışığın olur
Seni bana getirmek için

Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk?

Bazı şeyler karın altında
büyüyemez derler
Ya da dediler ki
Uzağa gömülmüşlerdir
Uzaklardaki bir yıldız gibi
Dokunamayacağım

Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk?

Bu benim kış şarkım
Aralık hiç bu kadar yanlış olmamıştı
Çünkü olman gereken yerde,
kollarımda değilsin

Hala yaz günlerine inanıyorum
Mevsimler hep değişir
Ve yaşam bir yol bulur
Işığının toplayıcısı olurum
Ve sana yollarım
Böylece tekrar başlayabiliriz

Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk?

Bu benim kış şarkım
Aralık hiç bu kadar yanlış olmamıştı
Çünkü olman gereken yerde,
kollarımda değilsin

Bu sana olan kış şarkım
Fırtına yakında burada olur
Denizden güçlü bir şekilde geliyor
Sesim, gecede bir yol gösterici ışık
Sözlerim ışığın olur
Seni bana getirmek için

Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?
Aşk yaşıyor mu?



@Luzern_

I need love,
To feel wanted,
I need to feel protected. Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.
Feel safe in the arms of another,
Risk getting heart broken,
But able to trust that won't happen.
Do you exist,
Are you out there,
Save em from my trouble.
Save me from my nightmares,
Hold me close and comfort me,
lay with me and cuddle me.
Show me you love me,
Tell me you love me,
Prove to me you love me.
Keep me in your arms,
run your fingers through my hair,
tell me you miss me,
Tell me things to make my heart sink,
Look at me as if I am art,
Priceless,
You are my angel,
Your the one I look to,
When my life gets to hard, In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood💘👻💙

I listened to this song in the summer of 2018 at the time, I was single, lonely and depressed, and I hated myself a lot .. Here I am now listening to it, but I am still single, but the most important thing is that I am no longer depressed and i don't hate myself .
Stay alive stay positive guys ...
