My daughter has a shirt that says "L'Hiver Au Vert" on it. What does it mean?

Thank you!

the winter with the green....aol translation

 

[Jamesbyr]

While my first thought was in the “semper ubi sub ubi” category, I did a little research.

In a passage about Druid rites and festivals, the paragraph for February refers to Brigitt, the goddess of poetry and of renewal. The specific sentence is:

C'est un temps pour passer du noir de l'hiver au vert de l'élan vital du printemps, de la putréfaction nécéssaire à la germination.

“It is a time to pass from the night of winter to the green of the vital spirit of Spring, from the decay necessary for new life.” (a rough translation.)

How this connects to a T-shirt is not completely clear, but I hope this helps.

LOL Let me suggest another translation of the translation:

"I'm Blossoming!"

...."I'm budding!"...."Once this place was as dead as winter but look at it now!"

LOL

I'd have to go with this translation.

My favorite sweatshirt has a graphic of a wearing a beret with the words

"j'embrasse mon chat sur la bouche."

 

[damo]

I would probably just think of it as a tropical winter.

The cat shirt sounds cute. Reminds me of "My cat's breath smells like cat food"

 

[Sonya]

"j'embrasse mon chat sur la bouche."

Too funny! I wonder if most who see that know what it means?

As for "L'Hiver Au Vert", "the winter to the green" is a literal translation. But I agree with the others, it might mean from winter to spring, or it might mean I'm blossoming.

I always have to laugh when I go to the Grand Teatons and see the t-shirts there for sale. Can you imagine a woman wearing "Grand Tetons" across her chest?

Maybe she's just honest?
