Song Meaning of “Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)” by Ernesto Cortazar
Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves) speaks to the struggles of life and love, with the leaves of autumn being a metaphor for our human experience. As the leaves of autumn fall to the ground and blow away with the wind, our lives can be full of highs and lows that come and go as quickly as the wind. We maybe sometimes feel that we too are being taken away, just like the leaves.
But even in the midst of this ephemeral nature of life, the song encourages us to find solace in our love. The love of a partner, family and friends can help to create a sense of purpose and companionship in our lives. Even if it is temporary, the message is that this lost and ever-changing world, brought about by the dying of the leaves, still has a promise of hope and renewal in the form of love.
In spite of the pain of passing seasons of life, we must take heart in the fact that love can always be found. Though our paths may be uncertain, our loved ones stay by our side. Even when the leaves of autumn are gone, love remains.
