Soleil
Sarah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jedes Mal färbt sich der Himmel, wenn du gehst
Alle Farben schreien auf und wollen mit
Und die Wolken fliegen schwerer als Granit
Wenn du mich verlässt, Soleil
Wenn du gehst, Soleil
Wird alles dunkel und schwer

Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Du gehörst nicht nur mir, ich leide leise, okay
Bis ich dich wiederseh'
Morgen wiederseh'
Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Ich warte auf dich, Soleil

Deine Wärme hält noch an, noch ewig lang
Schon alleine die Erinnerung daran
Es ist wie Sommer in Paris und wie am Strand
Wenn du bei mir bist, Soleil
Doch du gehst, Soleil
Und alles wird dunkel und schwer

Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Du gehörst nicht nur mir, ich leide leise, okay
Bis ich dich wiederseh'
Morgen wiederseh'
Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Ich warte auf dich, Soleil

Ich warte auf dich, Soleil
Ich warte auf dich, Soleil

Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Du gehörst nicht nur mir, ich leide leise, okay
Bis ich dich wiederseh'




Morgen wiederseh'
Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay
Ich warte auf dich, Soleil

Uh

Overall Meaning

In "Soleil," the lyrics convey a poignant emotional landscape marked by longing and the impact of separation. The opening lines illustrate a world transformed by the absence of the person referred to as "Soleil," which translates to "sun." The imagery of the sky changing color evokes a sense of deep emotional disturbance, suggesting that the departure of this individual casts a shadow over everything. The phrase "alle Farben schreien auf" (all colors scream out) implies that the vibrancy of life diminishes in their absence. Additionally, the comparison of clouds to "granite" underscores the heaviness and weight of sorrow that settles in when the singer is left alone. This initial verse encapsulates the profound grief and transformation that take place when one experiences the loss of a loved one.


The refrain, “Ich bleibe hier, zieh du deine Kreise, okay” (I stay here, you draw your circles, okay), reveals the singer's acceptance of the situation, indicating a separation that is emotionally complex. The rhetoric of "you are not only mine" hints at an acknowledgment of autonomy, emphasizing that the beloved has a life of their own. This encapsulates the bittersweet nature of love, where one must yield to the other’s individual path even as they endure silent suffering. The repetition of “okay” signifies resignation, as if the singer is striving to convince themselves that this quiet suffering is bearable in the face of love's demands. The desire to reunite, implied in the lines about waiting to see Soleil again, reinforces a sense of hope amidst the isolation.


In the subsequent stanzas, the lyrics draw on the warmth of memories shared with Soleil, painting vivid scenes that resemble the joy of summer in Paris. Such imagery serves as a stark contrast to the darkness that reigns when Soleil is gone, amplifying the emotional weight of absence. The phrase "Deine Wärme hält noch an" (your warmth still lingers) reflects how memories and past experiences can provide temporary solace, making the pain of absence even more palpable. The recollections of moments shared together, likened to idyllic summer days, create a sense of nostalgia. Thus, the lyrical progression challenges the listener to consider how moments of happiness can morph into sources of heartache when faced with separation.


In the concluding verses, the notion of waiting is further emphasized. The recurring declaration “Ich warte auf dich” (I wait for you) is not simply one of passive longing but also embodies a steadfast commitment to love. It suggests that even in darkness, the singer's heart remains anchored to Soleil, illustrating the enduring nature of true affection. The repeating structure of the lyrics conveys a sense of ritualistic devotion, as if the act of waiting is imbued with significance. By blending hurt with hope, "Soleil" encapsulates the complex emotions of love—its capacity to illuminate and to cast shadows, and the enduring promise of reunion that keeps the heart alive amidst the bleakness of separation.
