Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A La Faveur De L'automne by Tété from French to English.

Posted at the window

I watch

Lonely souls

Thanks to autumn

Posted at the window

I regret

Not having thought of it

Now that you're giving up

Thanks to autumn

That sweet melancholy returns

One, two, three, four

A bit like humming

Old melodies

Glued to the phone

I wait

For you to deign to call me

For you to finally make up your mind

You, your tomboy ways

Broke the monotony a bit

Of my days, of my nights

Thanks to autumn

That sweet melancholy returns

One, two, three, four

A bit like humming

Old melodies

Thanks to autumn

You restore to my melancholy

Its super-Scopitone colors

Thanks to autumn

How could I

Just be so stupid?

I'd been warned

Here's the naked truth

And now, and now, all that's missing

Is bad weather

To set in

A drop of rain

And I'd really have lost everything

Thanks to autumn

That sweet melancholy returns

One, two, three, four

A bit like humming

Old melodies

Thanks to autumn

You restore to my melancholy

Its super-Scopitone colors

Thanks to autumn

SONG MEANING

Feel that crisp breeze? In "À La Faveur De L'automne," French singer-songwriter Tété turns the arrival of autumn into a soundtrack of bittersweet longing. The narrator posts himself at the window, phone in hand, hoping a past lover will break the silence. Each falling leaf seems to strum an old melody in his head, reigniting une douce mélancolie—a gentle melancholy that is equal parts regret and warm nostalgia.

Rather than wallow, Tété turns this seasonal sadness into a playful, almost swing-like groove. He counts off “un, deux, trois, quatre” as if starting an upbeat jam, then confesses how foolish he feels for letting love slip away. Autumn’s glow paints his memories in vintage "super-scopitone" colors, reminding us that even heartache can look cinematic when framed by golden leaves. The result is a song that makes you sway while you sigh, perfect for anyone who has ever waited by a phone, watching the seasons—and maybe a romance—change.
