Wintertime
Norah Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the summertime and the fall
In the spring when the house is dark
Doesn't bother me at all
I know, I know it's in the light
The shadows start to move
There's a hurt, in the wintertime
There's a dream, a dream I had
That makes me sad on the road
That the sun keeps running from
Everyone I love
I know, I know, I know I'm leaning
I'm leaning on you
It's hard, I know, I know there isn't
Much that you can do
I know, I know, I know I'll make it
I'll make it through
In the wintertime there's a candlelight
I only get from you
I know, I know, it's only light
It's only light to you
But there's a thing called the wintertime
I can't make it through
I know, I know, I know I'm leaning
I'm leaning on you
It's hard, I know, I know there isn't
Much that you can do
I know, I know, I know I'll make it
I'll make it through
In the wintertime there's a candlelight
I only get from you
In Norah Jones's "Wintertime", the singer contemplates the changes in the different seasons - how she feels when she is alone, and how each season affects her differently. In the summer and fall, she feels okay being by herself, but in winter, she struggles with the loneliness. She wishes for that special light, that wintertime candlelight, that only her partner can give her. She leans on them for support, knowing that there's nothing much they can do, but it's all she needs in that moment.
This song speaks to the human need for warmth, both physically and emotionally, during the cold winter months. The winter season can be especially difficult for many people, as the lack of sunlight and colder temperatures can lead to feelings of sadness and loneliness. The wintertime blues are a real phenomenon, and Norah Jones captures this feeling perfectly in her melancholic lyrics.
The song describes the role that love and companionship can play in helping someone through a tough time. The light from a candle might seem insignificant, but to someone who is struggling, it can be the only thing that gets them through. This song is a reminder that even when things seem dark, there are always people who care and are willing to lend a helping hand.

Inverno
Estou sozinha, mas me sinto bem
No verão e no outono
Na primavera, quando a casa é escura
Não me incomoda mesmo
Eu sei, eu sei que está na luz
As sombras começam a se mover
Há uma dor, no inverno
Torna isso mais difícil para você
Há um sonho, um sonho que eu tive
Que me deixa triste na estrada
Do qual o sol continua fugindo
De todos que eu amo
Eu sei, eu sei que estou contando
Contando com você
É difícil, eu sei, eu sei que não há
Muito o que você possa fazer
Eu sei, eu sei, eu sei que conseguirei
Eu passarei por isso
No inverno, há uma luz de vela
Que só vem de você
Eu sei, eu sei que é só luz
É só luz para você
Mas há uma coisa chamada inverno
Não consigo superá-lo
Eu sei, eu sei que estou contando
Contando com você
É difícil, eu sei, eu sei que não há
Muito o que você possa fazer
Eu sei, eu sei, eu sei que conseguirei
Eu passarei por isso
No inverno, há uma luz de vela
Que só vem de você.

I think I hear "there's a kind of light" not "there's a candlelight".
