Le Cantique Des Cantiques

Natasha St-Pier's 'Le Cantique Des Cantiques' is a beautiful and poetic song that draws inspiration from the biblical Song of Songs, also known as the Song of Solomon. The lyrics are imbued with a sense of divine love and spiritual longing, as the singer hears the call of her beloved and responds with a heart full of readiness and anticipation. The imagery of the beloved leaping over mountains and singing on the shores evokes a sense of boundless joy and freedom, as well as a deep connection to nature and the divine.

The recurring invitation to 'come' and be led into a garden symbolizes a return to a state of innocence and purity, reminiscent of the Garden of Eden. The mention of winter passing and flowers awakening signifies a time of renewal and new beginnings, a theme that is further emphasized by the promise of love and the celebration of life through songs and declarations of 'I love you.' This seasonal metaphor highlights the transformative power of love, which can bring warmth and light even after the coldest and darkest times.

The song also touches on the idea of divine love being stronger than human suffering, referencing the love of a god who came to earth to heal and uplift. This grace that heals and raises up is portrayed as an eternal love that never ends, offering a sense of hope and redemption. Natasha St-Pier's ethereal voice and the song's gentle melody enhance the spiritual and uplifting message, making 'Le Cantique Des Cantiques' a moving and inspiring piece that speaks to the heart and soul.
