La mer [English translation]

The sea,

We see dancing along the shores of clear bays,

Shimmers with silver

The sea

Changing shimmers

Under the rain

The sea

With the summer sky

Mix up her white sheep

With the angels so pure

The infinite azure shepherdess

Sea

See

By the ponds

Those big wet reeds

See

Those white birds

And those rusty houses

The sea

Has cradled them

Along the shores of clear bays

And with a love song

The sea

Has rocked my heart for life
