La mer [English translation]

This is a less literal and more poetic translation of the song, but even doing it less 'word for word' it still doesn't make a huge amount of sense! Lol

The sea

That we see dance along the clear gulfs

Has reflections of silver

The sea

Those reflections change

In the rain

The sea

In summer skies merges

Her white sheep

With angels pure

The sea

An azure shepherdess

Infinite

Look

Next to lagoons

Those great wet reeds

Look

Those white birds

And those rusty houses

The sea

They're all lulled

Along the clear gulfs

And like a song of love

The sea

Has rocked my heart for life
