Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Encore Un Autre Hiver by Les Enfoirés from French to English.

Yet another winter

An ordinary winter

Families in trouble

And soups with sour faces

More endless words

Oaths, promises

Our illusions taking flight

On the winds of fine words

Beneath our blue, white and red

Powerless, nothing moves

Yet another horizon

Like a prison wall

Prophets and archangels

But nothing ever changes

Still all those childhoods

Born on the unlucky side

Parents who give up

And screens that work

But whether they're blue, white or red

Vows, speeches, nothing moves

There once was a country held up as an example

That spoke of human rights, equal chances

A land of good living as much as of hope

Once upon a time my beautiful country of France

Yet another winter

And so little anger

The weakest who break

And what d'you want us to do about it

A little hope again

A bit less black veil

Everywhere women and men

Who rise up and give

Another song again

That simply says no

Notes that lift again

Restos against fate

And people who still move

And people who still dream

To reverse the fates

And to still believe in it

We'll still need more

And we still sing

And louder and louder

And we still sing

And louder and louder

And we sing again, again, again, again, again

SONG MEANING

“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.
