Soleil Soleil Lyrics in English Pomme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Soleil Soleil by Pomme from French to English.
Don't ask me why
When winter comes and the deep cold hits
We all wanna die
Like it's the first time
That night falls, in our arms
We all wanna leave
To find the sun again
That we miss
That's gonna burn all our pain
The sun that haunts us
Come back, sun, sun
Never look down
Or the big bad wolf will eat you
You'll lose your balance
We're all gonna count to three
And make a chain with our arms
On the road south
To find the sun again
That we miss
That's gonna burn all our pain
The sun that haunts us
Come back, sun, sun
Remember, next time
When the snow and the crash come
We won't all die
We'll walk among the embers
And the black night will hold us
We'll all be able to leave
We'll all be able to leave

SONG MEANING

Picture this: winter wraps the world in ice, the nights stretch on forever, and everyone feels the pull of despair. In “Soleil Soleil”, French singer-songwriter Pomme captures that heavy, mid-winter mood yet instantly flips it into an anthem of collective hope. The repeated cry for the soleil (sun) becomes a rallying call: Let’s link arms, count to three, head south, and burn away our pain in the warmth we miss so much. Along the way she warns of the “big bad wolf” of fear and self-doubt, but insists that if we keep our eyes forward we will not lose our balance.

Underneath the dreamy melody lies a powerful message: when the cold seasons of life arrive, we do not have to surrender. Remember next time the snow falls, she sings, we can still walk through the embers and let the dark night hold us. It is both comforting and empowering—a reminder that while winter is inevitable, so is the return of the sun, especially when we face it together.
