La mer est là [English translation]

The sea is there whispering to me

Her love and infinite words

The Sea is there reassuring me

It is not the end of the miracle yet

I will reborn from my wounds

The Sea is there, Who is saying that to me :

I will never be a perjury

See you this night !

The Sea caresses your face

Speaking about you softly

Did i have to love you more ?

Did i give you enough of me ?

It burns inside us, natural form,

A secret fire, unsatiated.

Will we ever find back the shore

After the night ?

Of course there are these thunderstorms

With her storms, with her screams

The sea gets her revenge and rejects us

And denies us ;

Smiles at our shabby sinkings

And of their vanity

The sea teaches humility

Listen to my distant soul

How it is fragile and precise

This song coming from mermaids

For which calling? For which madness ?

The human will never be himself

At the end of which tragedy ?

Great go ! Did i have to love you

In this life ?

And i cried a thousand times

Hopeless, dumbfounded,

Face to the sea

In front the night's gates !

But she keeps her mysteries

Even during these summer evenings

Even for those who sing about her...

The sea is there whispering to me

Her love and infinite words

The sea is there reassuring me

It is not the end of the miracle yet

The sea reflects your face

On behalf of which strange prophecy

Will we find back the shore

After the night ?

Of course there were these thunderstorms

With her storms, with her screams

The sea doesn't care and rejects us

And denies us

She will keep her mysteries

Even during these summer evenings

Even for those who sing about her
