Les bateaux sont partis [English translation]

The boats have gone, tonight the sea is beautiful.

The wave is coming towards me like a shining snake.

Big birds are gliding around me and are calling me.

In the rising wind, I'm hearing your voice,

I'm hearing your voice.

The wave is coming and is rolling to my feet on the sand.

The trace of my footsteps is fading away little by little.

Today, my sadness today is unimaginable

With this ocean moving between the two of us,

moving between the two of us.

The boats have left, tonight the sea is calm.

The wind that is coming from the islands is gently exhaling

A harp complaint while playing in the palm trees.

I look at the sea and I'm hearing your voice,

And I'm hearing your voice.

I'm waiting for the sun to come out later

And for its first ray to come and touch my skin.

It'll be the hour of enchantment, the hour of distress.

And I'm waiting for you, who will come out of the waters,

who will come out of the waters.

You, I'm waiting for, who will come out of the waters.
