Ainsi soit je...

The speaker describes a relationship marked by sadness, uncertainty, and loneliness. At first, she seems to want distance and escape, wishing to sleep through a personal “winter.” Yet she also admits that she lies about her feelings and feels emotionally cold. The repeated chorus turns this pain into resignation: she wonders whether hope is possible, then ends with “tant pis,” roughly “never mind” or “so be it.”

The image of a “bubble of sorrow” suggests a feeling that surrounds or traps the speaker, while “winter” can represent emotional numbness or a desire to withdraw. Calling the two people “orphans” may imply that they feel abandoned or alone even within the relationship. “Your fantasies” or “illusions” suggests that one person’s hopes or promises may be hard to trust.

The refrain “Ainsi soit je, ainsi soit tu, ainsi soit il” plays on a familiar-sounding formula meaning something like “so be it,” while shifting between “I,” “you,” and “he.” This may widen the speaker’s private pain into a statement about life, but it can also sound like a wordplay rather than a precise declaration. The lyrics do not settle whether the relationship is ending or whether the speaker is simply overwhelmed; both readings fit the repeated wish for escape and the admission of loneliness.
