Like we breathe

Grandma talks about the weather

It's not so bad

This bright sun, this gentle wind

Like we breathe

Grandma gives us the forecast

Has nothing to say

But warns us

If it gets too hot

When we argue

Grandma watches and above all, keeps an eye on

The path of the clouds

She could've been a thermometer

When there's arguing

Grandma avoids and flees the conflict

Clears the table alone

And moves further from the storm

Grandma doesn't get involved

She says she doesn't get it

All this drama

Even if it livens up the meals

You'll leave us, Grandma

It's your age

And you'll be among your own

Within the clouds

You'll leave us, Grandma

You're so right

Far from boredom

Far from the rain, far from the seasons

As it's late

Grandma points out, she's right

That it's really dark out

And especially cold for the season

How funny

Casually, Grandma savors

Every moment

Grandma, she knows love well

As usual

Grandma whistles a little tune

Finishes her glass

And gets up like a draft

She's light

Grandma, she's like the wind

Serves dessert

She calls the shots

Grandma doesn't get involved

She says it's not for her

But she cracks up

She loves it when it's chaos

You'll leave us, Grandma

It's your age

And you'll be among your own

Within the clouds

You'll leave us, Grandma

You're so right

Far from boredom

Far from the rain, far from the seasons

You'll leave us, Grandma

It's your age

And you'll be among your own

Within the clouds

You'll leave us, Grandma

You're so right

Far from boredom

Far from the rain, far from the seasons

SONG MEANING

Get ready for a heartwarming and poetic song about a very special grandmother! "Mamie" paints a beautiful picture of a gentle matriarch who acts as the family's quiet observer. She's always talking about the weather, not because it's small talk, but because she is the emotional 'thermometer' of the family. When arguments start to brew, like a gathering orage (storm), Mamie quietly slips away, refusing to take sides. The singer describes her as being as light as the wind, a peaceful presence who subtly influences the atmosphere of the home.

The song also touches on a deeper theme: saying goodbye. The singer gently accepts that one day Mamie will leave, seeing it as a natural part of life ('Tu partiras, Mamie, C'est de ton âge' - You will leave, Grandma, it is your age). But this isn't a sad farewell. Instead, her passing is imagined as a peaceful journey to join the clouds she so often watched. It's a sweet tribute to a woman who, despite her quiet nature, understands love deeply and is the cherished, calming heart of her family.
