The months of August in the morning
My throat is tight
I don't want to get up
My shutters are closed
I prayed to you all summer
You never came back
One day you left me
And you disappeared
When December comes in the evening
I try to think
That in the new year
You would like to see me again
I prayed to you all winter
You never came back
I must have believed the opposite
Yes, I was wrong
The seasons drag on
In my place
Leaving me alone
Face to face
Faced with I don't know what
To our loves
That time chases away
Everything dissolves
But nothing erases
Memories of you
Memories of you
Autumn at the window
Makes no sense without you
My Mondays repeat themselves
Singing to you softly
I keep the maybes
That keep me to you
So precious are the crumbs
That I have left of that
The seasons drag themselves
In my place
Leaving me alone
Face to face
Faced with I don't know what
To our loves
That time chases away
Everything dissolves
But nothing erases
Memories of you
The memory of you
The memory of you
Dead loves waltz
Which make the wheat bloom
I wait in front of my door
I let you go

SONG MEANING

“Mes Souvenirs De Toi” paints the picture of a lonely narrator who measures time by the changing seasons rather than the calendar. Summer, autumn, winter, and the endless Mondays all march past her closed shutters while she waits for a lover who never returns. Each verse is a diary entry of hope mixed with disappointment: she prays in August mornings, clings to New Year wishes in December nights, and sings softly to phantom possibilities. The passing months feel heavy and sluggish, yet her love remains light enough to dance in memories.

At its heart, the song is about the indestructible imprint that a once-cherished person can leave behind. Even as “everything dissolves,” nothing can erase the flashes of laughter, the scent of shared moments, or the aching silence that follows their absence. ZAZ blends wistful lyrics with her signature warm vocals to remind us that while seasons change and fields are reborn, memories keep blooming inside us — stubborn, tender, and beautifully alive.
