La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea

The sea, the sea
La mer

Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
That we see dancing along the clear bays
A des reflets d'argent
Has silver reflections
La mer
The sea
Des reflets changeants sous la pluie
Changing reflections under the rain
La mer
The sea
Au ciel d'été confond ses blancs moutons
In the summer sky mingles its white sheep
Avec les anges si purs
With the angels so pure
La mer
The sea
Bergère d'azur infinie
Pasture of infinite azure
Voyez

Près des étangs ces grands roseaux mouillés
By the ponds, these tall wet reeds
Voyez
See
Ces oiseaux blancs et ces maisons rouillées
These white birds and those rusted houses
La mer (la mer, la mer)
The sea (the sea, the sea)
Les a bercés le long des golfes clairs (la mer, la mer)
Cradled them along the clear gulfs (the sea, the sea)
Et d'une chanson d'amour
And with a love song
La mer
The sea
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie
Has cradled my heart for life
Et d'une chanson d'amour
And with a love song
La mer
The sea
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie

La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
La mer, la mer
The sea, the sea
