Winter Song
Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so i have been told.
They say we're 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 long,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change,
And life will find a way.
I'll be your harvester of light,
And send it out tonight
So we can start again.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song.
December never felt so long,
Cause youre not where you belong;
Inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.
Is love alive? (*12)

- Winterlied -
Dies ist mein Winterlied für dich.
Der Sturm steht kurz bevor,
er rollt vom Meer heran.
Meine Stimme - ein Leuchtfeuer in der Nacht.
Meine Worte werden dein Licht sein
um dich zu mir zu bringen.
Lebt die Liebe?
Lebt die Liebe?
Ist* Liebe?
Sie sagen, dass Dinge gerade nicht wachsen können
unter dem Winterschnee.
Ungefähr so wurde es mir gesagt.
Sie sagen, wir sind weit entfernt bestattet,
genau wie ein entferntliegener Stern,
den ich einfach nicht halten kann.
Lebt die Liebe?
Lebt die Liebe?
Lebt die Liebe?
Dies ist mein Winterlied.
Dezember hat sich nie so lang angefühlt,
denn du bist nicht dort, wo du hingehörst.
In meinen Armen.
Ich glaube immer noch an Sommertage.
Die Jahreszeiten wechseln immer
und Leben wird seinen Weg finden.
Ich werde dein Erntehelfer des Lichts sein
und werde es heute Nacht aussenden,
damit wir von vorn beginnen können.
Lebt die Liebe?
Lebt die Liebe?
Lebt die Liebe?
...
* oder auch: "existiert Liebe?"

Why is there no love button to this song? I cry every time I hear this song, and I think I've been listening to it for two days straight now. The orchestration, the lyrics, it's really just perfect. It's just so full of emotion.

I think this version is very very nice as well!! His voice is so sensual and smooth! I have to say I prefer the way Ronan sings the chorus, more than the way Ingrid and Sara. Anyway both versions are excellent :)
Katie Coyne - The Ghost Whisperer
This is a brilliant version of the song written and song sung by the beautiful and uber talented Sara Bareilles. I only discovered her music yesterday...wow. Heartwrenching, powerful alto voice.
