It's just a song
Saule Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Avant que la nuit vienne
Perchée sur son balcon
Elle murmure un poème
It’s just a song

Pendant que d’autres dorment
La lune en toile de fond
Sur les toits, elle fredonne

Un petit air sans nom

Les gens disent qu’elle est folle
Quand elle parle aux flocons
C’est l’unique symbole
C’est l’unique trait d’union

Pour se rappeler de celle
Dont elle n’a qu’un prénom
Dans un lambeau de ciel
Elle écoute sa chanson

C’est une chanson
Rien qu’une chanson
Qu’elle lui envoie là-haut

Un doux baiser
A l’enfant qui
L’a quittée bien trop tôt

C’est une chanson

Rien qu’une chanson
It’s just a song

Overall Meaning

The song "It's just a song" by Saule is a beautiful ode to the power of music in our lives. The lyrics describe a woman who spends her nights on her balcony, whispering a poem and humming a tune under the moonlight. While others are asleep, she finds solace in the melody that has no name. The woman is seen as eccentric by those who don't understand, as she talks to the snowflakes and uses music as a way to connect with the world.

Despite what others may say, the song is about something deeper than what meets the eye. It's a tribute to a lost love, someone who the woman only knows by their first name. She sends a sweet kiss to the child who left her too soon, holding onto their memory through the gentle melody. The song is a way to keep the connection alive, to find comfort in the midst of sorrow and to reach out to someone who is no longer there.
