Fille du soleil [English translation]

The sea, my friend, my sister—with you, I have no fear.

You roll me in your waves; I discover a world, a world of great beauty.

Like me, you can be cloudy or clear, following the whim of the atmosphere.

Like my impalpable dreams, your waves die upon the sand.

I am a daughter of the sun and the sea—my friend, my mother.

And with you, I have no fear; I dream that the world has a soul.

Beyond the sea, there are sisters, there are brothers.

On the other side of the water, the world is even more beautiful.

The sea is blue or gray—the wind toys with the breeze

The land is far, yet so near; the boat sails towards freedom.

The journey of my life was joyful, if sometimes painful

I keep in my heart this ocean that was my dream, my childhood dream.

I am a daughter of the sun and the sea—my friend, my mother.

And with you, I have no fear; I dream that the world has a soul.

Beyond the sea, there are sisters, there are brothers.

On the other side of the water, the world is even more beautiful.

Beyond the sea, there are sisters, there are brothers.

On the other side of the water, the world is even more beautiful.
