It's "The Wind Rises" - from Paul Valery's famous closing stanza of "Le cimetiere marin" (The Cemetery by the Sea)
"Le vent se lève !… Il faut tenter de vivre !"
"The wind rises... we must try to live"
To me it denotes a sad, stoic acceptance that things are about to go down badly, but we must somehow survive.
