Just like a dead leaf
Stranded by your door
I'll wait for the wind to rise
For hope to carry me away
For someone to give me strength
To move toward all that lifts me up
A thousand and one colors
That make my heart beat
To the rhythm of the seasons
For the span of a song
Under a weeping willow
I dream of a better life
But you have to be strong
So I keep waiting
I let autumn pass
But my heart urges me
To confess to you that in my prayers
No, I'll never abandon you
And if I sometimes lose my mind
Your absence is my only winter
A thousand and one colors
That make my heart beat
To the rhythm of the seasons
For the span of a song
Under a weeping willow
I dream of a better life
But you have to be strong
So I keep waiting
Head in the clouds, I hum
When the chimes ring
You'll come, so dear to me
Spring and summer shine
You're here, I wait for nobody else
A whole life is only one day on earth
A thousand and one colors
That make my heart beat
To the rhythm of the seasons
For the span of a song
Under a weeping willow
I dream of a better life
But you have to be strong
A thousand and one colors
That make my heart beat
To the rhythm of the seasons
For the span of a song
Under a weeping willow
I don't count the hours anymore
Lulled till dawn
It's less cold outside

SONG MEANING

Feuille d'automne paints a vivid picture of a heart fluttering like an autumn leaf, caught between melancholy and hope. Indila compares herself to that fallen leaf, stranded at a lover’s doorstep and patiently waiting for a gust of wind - a spark of courage - to lift her toward brighter days. Each verse spins through the seasons, coloring the song with “mille et une couleurs” that mirror shifting emotions: autumn signals longing, winter feels like lonely absence, while the promise of spring and summer glows with renewed love.

Despite moments of doubt, the narrator’s faith never wavers. Under the protective branches of a weeping willow, she dreams of a better life and gathers strength to persevere. When the cherished one finally returns, time seems to burst into bloom; the chill fades, bells ring, and even a single day feels like an entire lifetime of warmth. Ultimately, the song celebrates resilience, the cyclical nature of feelings, and the magic of holding on until love turns the coldest season into colorful dawn.
