Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Reviens Pour L'hiver by Barbara Pravi from French to English.

How beautiful autumn is in Paris

It's raining, multicolored leaves

And the sun hibernates like a bear

I'm alone, and my heart's gray

I hear the others laughing outside

And before my weary eyes, it races

And that's what missing you looks like

Dragging myself around stupidly, arms dangling

Wearing three sweaters but shivering inside

And watching time spin

Please

Come back for winter when the night eats the day

Please, for the winter

you gotta know

I'm not gonna lie, this loveless cold depresses me

I'll wait, if I have to, forever

We'll lie down without thinking, whenever we feel like it

And our two bodies will mingle their solitude

Across our skin, we'll let our fingers run

That game will trace in the sheets betrayals of routine

But right now it hurts too much in the pit of my gut

I hold a grudge against myself and my tears avalanche

The Earth feels ordinary and emptier than a full moon on a Sunday

Please

Come back for winter when the night eats the day

Please, for the winter

you gotta know

I'm not gonna lie, this loveless cold depresses me

I'll wait, if I have to, forever

Please

Come back for winter when the night eats the day

Please, for the winter

you gotta know

I'm not gonna lie, this loveless cold depresses me

I'll wait, like always

SONG MEANING

Barbara Pravi paints an autumn-in-Paris postcard that is anything but romantic. As rainbow leaves showers the city and the sun “hibernates like a bear,” she wanders the streets with three sweaters yet still shivering, feeling the weight of an empty heart. Every laugh she hears outside rubs in the fact that her own joy is missing - and that missing piece is you.

The chorus is a heartfelt plea: “Reviens pour l’hiver” - come back before the long winter swallows the daylight. Cold weather becomes the perfect metaphor for loneliness, while thoughts of sharing late-night warmth, tangled sheets, and rule-breaking tenderness offer a spark of hope. Until that reunion, she admits she is stuck between seasonal blues and stubborn faith, promising to wait “for always” no matter how grey the sky or how deep the chill.
