Summer Summer
Carla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Des fraises, des cerises, un baiser d'ange au printemps
Mon vin d'été a toutes ses saveurs en même temps

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh oh summer wine

Des fraises, des cerises, un baiser d'ange au printemps
Mon vin d'été a toutes ces saveurs en même temps
Enlève tes éperons, fais-moi tout oublier
Et je te donnerai du vin d'été
Mm mm vin d'été

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I could not find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Mm mm summer wine

Des fraises, des cerises, un baiser d'ange au printemps
Mon vin d'été a toutes ces saveurs en même temps
Enlève tes éperons, fais-moi tout oublier
Et je te donnerai du vin d'été
Mm mm vin d'été

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Mm mm summer wine

Des fraises, des cerises, un baiser d'ange au printemps
Mon vin d'été a toutes ces saveurs en même temps
Enlève tes éperons, fais-moi tout oublier
Et je te donnerai du vin d'été
Mm mm vin d'été




Mm mm vin d'été
Mm mm vin d'été

When he wakes up the next day, his silver spurs are gone, and he is left wanting more of the woman's summer wine.


The lyrics of "Summer Wine" are full of poetic language and metaphor. The summer wine can be interpreted as a metaphor for the pleasures of life and the fleeting nature of happiness.
