“Encore Un Autre Hiver” paints a chilly picture of modern-day France, where each returning winter feels like a replay of hardship: struggling families, empty political promises, and children growing up on the wrong side of luck. The lyrics highlight a nation that once prided itself on liberté, égalité, fraternité, yet now seems stuck behind an invisible wall of indifference. Under the familiar tricolour, nothing appears to move, and the most vulnerable break while screens keep flickering.
Yet the song refuses to freeze in despair. It flips the bleak canvas with sparks of hope: ordinary women and men who stand up, the iconic Restos du Cœur charity, and of course music itself. By chanting “encore, encore,” Les Enfoirés rally listeners to keep dreaming, keep acting, and keep singing louder each time. The message? Change starts when voices rise together, even in the coldest season.
