La mer [English translation]

The Sea

She’s there dancing along the bright bays

Reflections of silver

The Sea

Reflections shimmer

In the rain

The Sea

In the summer sky

Her white sheep fly

With angels so pure

The sea, shepherd azure

Infinite

Look there

Near those ponds

That tall wet grass

Look there

Those white herons

And those rusted shacks

The Sea

Rocked them all

Along the bright bays

And with a love song

The Sea

Calmed my heart all my days
