Mais la mer est toujours bleue [1971] [English translation]

On the beach, it's raining a lot with passion.

I have nearly lost the taste of the ocean.

But the sea is still blue,

As if it was a play,

As if love would last forever.

On the left sand, you don't come anymore.

All the summer birds have lost themselves.

But the sea is still blue,

As if it was a play,

As if love would last forever.

This morning, all the hotels have been closed

And also the gardens, the casino, and the sun.

But the sea is still blue,

As if it was a play,

As if love would last forever.
