Je Te Réchaufferai

The sky weaves a wool blanket
Summer prepares for its winter quarters
But don't be afraid of the cold, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up
Let's dream on the banks of the Seine
If there are still some green spots left
And if the air is cool, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up

Wrapping my arm around your shoulder
And if despite my arm, the breeze works
To play its role well
You'll take my sweater

If the weather, despite my wool sweater
Disturbs the calm of your skin
By holding you close to me, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up

But if the wind blows relentlessly
We'll quickly shelter our love
And snuggled in our attic, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up

I'll close windows and shutters
I'll lock the door securely
And by making a fire, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up

By offering the fire all the wood it demands
And if there's a shortage of wood, I'll also
Put our furniture in the flames
Keeping only the bed

But if the cold rages against us
And the fire is of no help to you
Through the warmth of my love, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up

The sky weaves a wool blanket
Summer prepares for its winter quarters
But don't be afraid of the cold, Helen
I'll warm you up, I'll warm you up
