Triste saison
Hubert Mounier Lyrics

The song, Triste saison, is a poignant expression of heartbreak and regret. The opening lines, "Passe le temps, Écument les jours, Loin devant, Il y a ceux qui courent" (Time passes, the days go by, ahead, there are those who run) convey a sense of the relentless march of time, and how some people seem to move on while others are left behind. The singer longs to love the object of his affection forever, but there is an underlying sense of resignation, as if he knows that this is unlikely to happen.

The second verse, "Ne m'en veux pas si je te mens, Je veux just' gagner du temps, Car je pleure, Oh oui je pleure, De n'avoir pas su faire ton bonheur, De t'avoir laissée briser mon coeur" (Don't blame me if I lie to you, I just want to buy some time, because I cry, yes I cry, for not having known how to make you happy, for letting you break my heart) reveals the source of the singer's pain. He feels guilty for not having been able to make his lover happy, and for having allowed her to hurt him so deeply.

The final verse, "Passe la chance, Rien à l'horizon, Quand s'avance, La triste saison, J'aimerais tant t'aimer pour toujours" (Luck passes, nothing on the horizon, When the sad season comes, I would love to love you forever) adds to the overall sense of melancholy. The singer sees little hope for the future, and yet he still longs for love.

Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the pain of heartbreak and the fragility of love. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt the sting of rejection or the loss of a loved one.
