Charles Trénet - La Mer (live Olympia) (english translation thanks to EdHarris) The sea which one sees dancing along the clear gulfs to sparkles of silver. The sea Of changing sparkles Under the rain. The sea Confuses the summer sky's sheep With angels so pure. The sea Shepherdess of blue infinity. Look! Next to the ponds Those tall wet reeds. Look! Those white birds And those rusty houses The Sea Has cradled them Along the clear gulfs. The Sea Has cradled my heart for life. *Trénet's will would be that everyone learned french instead. You would be amazed by its poetry and thankful to him forever. Alors ne laissons pas le français mourir. Repérons les cédilles et les accents graves sur nos claviers et sauvons la plus jolie langue au Monde! Merci
