La vague [English translation]

I am a wave,I was born

On a beach in Italy

On a beautiful summer morning

My beginnings were difficult

I wasn't very gentle

I had a hard time supporting me

For the children,on holiday

In a beautiful disregard

All of me splashing

And I, small quiet water

I dreamed of waves of islands

I dreamed I was home

And me,small quiet water

I dreamed of waves of islands

I dreamed I was home

A day of great courage

I went to swim

I did not know how to swim

I left without luggage

Except a small shell

Of which I had a friendship

Since I took off

I know many other charges

Large boats came to face me

So I support them

So I take them

Towards a Mediterranean port

So I support them

So I take them

Towards a Mediterranean port

I am a wave I was born

On a beach in Italy

On a beautiful summer morning

But today I scrapes

I'm bored and I'm lapping

The old walls of a disused wharf

My mother, my mother, I regret

The little deserted beach

Where children were playing with me

Pray that the wind picks up

I go to my death strike

I did not know

And if it's not rocket science

I would write my memoirs

In the hot sand of the water beyond

And if it's not rocket science

I would write my memoirs

In the hot sand of the water beyond
