Un Hiver Doux (A Gentle Winter)

Wrote this a year ago in french. I included the translation and the real version.

D- C'est l'hiver et

G-Dans mon coeur

D-Je connais tout par

A-Coeur...

D-C'est l'hiver et

G-Dans mon coeur, j'ai

D-un

A-peu

D-peur...

(Same chords) Je vois déja la tempête

Qui arrive vers nous

Je vois déja la tempête,

Et tout est flou...

 

Chorus: G-On m'avait

A-Promis un hiver

D-Doux

G-Mais tout ce que j'ai

A-Eu s'éloigne de

D-Nous

A-Je t'aime mais tu

G- T'éloigne

D-Toujours

A-Sans toi, mon hiver

G-N'est pas

D-Doux

 

(chords from beginning) La tempête nous a frappé

Et tout est oublié...

Je te cherche dans le blizzard!

Ya plus d'espoir!

 

G-Je t'ai perdu mais

A-Jtai pas

D-Oublier...

G-La tempête garde mon

A-Coeur toujours

D-Serré...

A-Ceci n'est pas mon

G-Hiver

D-Doux...

A-Je veux ravoir mon

G-Hiver

D-Doux..

 

Chorus

 

(slow)A-Je veux ravoir mon

G-Hiver...

D-Doux...

 

Translation: It is winter, and in my heart

I know everything already by heart

It is winter, and in my heart

Fear has started to grow.

I foresee the storm that heads our way

I foresee the storm, and everything is blurry now

 

Chorus: They had promised me a gentle winter

But everything I have gotten only keeps us apart

I love you, but you always seem to flow away

Without you, there is no such thing as a gentle winter...

 

The storm has hit us, and everything is forgotten

I look for you through the blizzard, hope is lost now

I have lost you, but I have not forgotten you

The storm has kept our hearts tightened up

This is not my gentle winter

I want my gentle winter back

 

Chorus

 

I want...

My gentle winter back...

 

Author's Note

I wrote the french version because it would destroy the essence of the song if I didn't.

So glad you included both the French and English versions. You are so very gifted and this is a perfect display of your talents, and the beauty of your words to capture the essence of a season (both the actual and the metaphorical). Simply breathtaking...
