La mer [English translation]

The sea,

Which one sees dancing along crystal gulfs,

glimmers silvery sparks

The sea

of wavering glints

when it's rainy (ing)

The sea

(In)To summer sky, blends

Her whitecap flock

with the angels so pure

The sea, azure shepherdess,

Endlessly

See there!

By the tide pools

Those great anchored reeds

See there!

Those white seabirds

And those rusted shanties

The sea

pacified them

along crystal gulfs

and with a song of love

the sea

has becalmed my heart, eternallyyyy (repeat; big finish)
