FH's performance is fabulous, but the arrangement (especially the backing vocals) suck balls big time.

What Francoise Hardy album is this from? I can not find it anywhere.

Thanks!

[starfighter441]

Nice, I fell in love with her as a10 year old when I saw "Grand Prix" for the first time. She is still a beautiful woman.

[NYRyder1983]

i love her so much she is one of the best

[asunsol]

I just love it!

[LOCMARIAKER]

un bonheur d'écouté cette chanson par Françoise .......

[fntavora]

Uma lindíssima canção numa interpretação excelente de Françoise Hardy, a recordar-nos outras interpretações do mesmo tema musical, por outros grandes cançonetistas, como por exemplo Charles Trénet!

[Ystadcop]

As a teenage boy in the 60's, Francoise Hardy had a disturbing influence on me. But I don't want to talk about it.......................

[LadyLamb09]

(In English) The sea which we see dancing along the clear gulfs has silver reflections. The sea has changing reflections Under the rain. The sea To the summer sky's confuses her white sheep With angels so pure. The sea, Shepherdess of infinite blue. See Next to the ponds Those tall wet reeds. See Those white birds And those rusty houses. The sea Has rocked them Along the clear gulfs And with a love song The sea Has rocked my heart for life.

[LadyLamb09]

(In French) La mer Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d'argent La mer Des reflets changeants Sous la pluie La mer Au ciel d'été confond Ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs La mer, bergère d'azur infinie. Voyez Près des étangs Ces grands roseaux mouillés. Voyez Ces oiseaux blancs Et ces maisons rouillées. La mer Les a bercés Le long des golfes clairs Et d'une chanson d'amour La mer A bercé mon cœur pour la vie.

[LadyLamb09]

[dittydum123]

reminds me of "lost"

[Trexanh60]

c'est trop belle,merci

[pangloss111]

Chanson de Charles Trenet qu'il a écrite en 1954 en hommage à la PMéditerrannée languedocienne.

[islanda72]

Wonderful landscapes.

It is the France or also other country?

[Babyhowdy233]

For my money Mireille Mathieu sings circles around Hardy any day of the week.

[TenningTwins]

why isn't this on rhapsody??? 8/

[iwuvsweeney]

Anyone else want to shut up the background singers?

[JiS01]

Trenét version will never be surpassed but this is very nice! Go Francoise!

[1arch]

Wow I love this! Where can I find an audio recording of La Mer from Francoise? It does not appear on any of her albums that I can find.

Wonderful video also - thanks!

[crazystarwarsguy1006]

Too watery . Give me Charles any day.

[Babyhowdy233]

@crazystarwarsguy1006

I quite agree!

[subtlebond]

@bjohnwords

This is beautiful

[bjohnwords]

Let her take us on a journey, a voyage through space and time

When clipper ships sailed the orient, with verse and simple rhyme

Inspired by a lady, she spoke a language to the trees

In the forest where she came from, she sang to a Baltic breeze

In Maine she was a lady, a songbird some might say

Like any other ships figurehead, just shaped in a different way

[jordyhh]

Ce magnifique  really beautifull

[T1m0s1n4]

j'adore cette chanson!

[cmimi1976]

j aime bien car elle a une belle voix mais jprefere la version originale

[JWAGVideo]

carminem bellum cantatum bella voce

[theinkbrain]

La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs

A des reflets d'argent

La mer

Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer

Au ciel d'ete confond
Ses blancs moutons

Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d'azur
Infinie
Voyez
Pres des etangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles

Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs

Et ces maisons rouillees
La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berce mon coeur pour la vie

[TheBirdboots]

Voor Georg en Marie-Lieve, de zee......!

[josdewitte]

still the version of charles is the best (the voice)

[Lamuna1000]

Toll,finde ich super.Einfach schön die alten "schinken". :-)))))

[gedichtewiese]

..wunderschönes Lied und Video! ;)

[The7612]

Francoise on ihana. Miten onkin päässyt unohtumaan viime aikoina. No, vahinko on korjattavissa..

[mavrothalassa]

Quel beaux voyage!!!

[LOCMARIAKER]

superbe chanson !! et interprété par Françoise c'est magnifique !!

[danzinnyman]

the song has a weird begining but i absolutley love this song and this remake

[TheLaptop12]

season 1 episode 12 Lost

[hicksi61]

nice but nothing makes me as nostalgic as hearing the original by charles trenet

[motponette]

morgen begint de zomer

[motponette]

morgen begint de zomer

[nosuperstition]

One of my favorite all-time singers, and harder than hens-teeth to find! Thank you!

[65Haydee]

My favorite song by francoise hardy

Just beautiful

[tobythewonderseal]

Francoise Hardy's voice is so great, but the video (parasailing?) + the 'da daa da daa' background singers so take away from it.

[SweetlyxJules]

que belle :)

[danzinnyman]

ar emy ears orgasming lol her voice is like heaven any one having relationship problems listen to this an youl realize that Francoise Hardy  is the gal for you lol =) thanks maxim for the video

[wallpole]

Best version by Charles Trenet.

[theYguy300]

bioshock

[danzinnyman]

bioshock had the django reinhardt version which was soley all about the 1940s 1950s era this version is the 1965 version but could be applied to the late 60s 70s era although both versions are amazing

[theYguy300]

THANKS, I never knew that. But you're right, they are pretty good.

[docmusic1930]

La mer,The sea, El mar, es una linda canción francesa que tiene la particularidad de no tener sino una primera parte. Como esto es lo de menos, la canción se presta para que la interpreten figuras como la linda Francoise Hardy cuya voz suave, tierna y melódica hace un derroche de delicia armónica y melódica.

[shewurz]

Trenet is fine, but Francoise was a hit when I lived in Germany mid 60's..loved her! Love this song! There are pleanty of vids of her singing her own music here, too. But I like this "fluff" too!

[vijaypush]

Je ne connaissais pas cette version trés personnnelle de la mer par F.hardy.

Merci, et en tout cas jadore, vintage, mais comme tout ce qui vient d'elle est indémodable et bourré de talent, de sa touche comme nulle autre pareille, la classe du grand talent d'une grande artiste !

[craignshari]

Yeah Larkin this is the best version of this song ever. Back up singers arent that bad.

Rock on Francoise... aways awesome.Thanks for posting.

[123farringdon]

Sacha Distel did a good version 20+ or so years ago.

[larkin38]

This is the best version of this song ever.

[LordMgls]

I really prefer Trenet's.

[samyhotmail]

belle version a la francoise hardy

[rhinohouse]

Definitely one of Francoise' low points. She must have been locked in a bitch of a contract to crank out this kind of fluff.

[steevenfrost]

I just listened to the Chales Trenet version.This is ok but doesn't really cut it.

Would be improved immensely if those annoying backing singers(?) could be removed from this version.

However Francoise Hardy is still a fantastic siger. Voila 'Nuff said.

[Marketoromagnolo]

pas comparison avec Dalida

Dalida elle este la plus grande

[Groenland8]

Très poetique !

[yadessolin]

moi celle de Françoise. Celle de Dalida est trop molle

[tara1949]

No one should mess with the Trenet version.

[pippi0101]

Sa voix et ces images sont magnifiques.

[italialazzaro]

moi aussi je préfère la version de dalida même si celle de Françoise hardy est très bien

[lunabrune]

Je préfère la version de Dalida même si j'apprécie énormément Françoise Hardy.............

[pk54ms]

Just heard the version from Dalida but I like this one from Francoise much better. Very well done

[goldieken]

Magnifique!

[angiuspel]

stupenda

meravigliosa

[defjamfanatic123]

Are you sure this is Francoise Hardy? I can't find any information on the internet of her recording a version of this song, and I was looking to get it off iTunes or anywhere, but it's nowhere to be found.

[Becky930]

It appeared on a single (1970), together with another classic "les Feuilles Mortes", but was never again released anew, due to F.H. refusal to do so.

[defjamfanatic123]

Ah, that would make sense.

Anyone have any idea where else to find it online, or where to download? I looked for it on iTunes but it wasn't even there.

[EdmundTheMagnificent]

To download, send to your own email, then use REAL PLAYER . Then place your pointer around the top, right. Will appear "DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO". You wont get the video though, but only the soundtract. Then Burn onto a CD or DVD or your mobile phone or a Pen Drive . But there do exist other easier ways. Someone told me about a site " You Tube Download" . have Not tried it yet.

[LittlePigglette]

I know this response is ridiculously late, but a .mp3 file can be found on 4shared. Just type in "Francoise La Mer".

[Becky930]

Despite F.H being opposite to it, it appears (thanks Maxim6032!) that  Vogue ( her record label that time) repeatedly commercialized that song between 1965 and 1973...but not later !

[BRIOCHIN22000]

bravo à tous ceux qui chantent cette chanson: trenet, Françoise, Frederik Mey (das Meer), peter Alexander ( das Meer/la mer , viennois copain de Mireille Mathieu) sur musicme et Heino (das Meer/ la mer) sur youtube bravo !!!!!

[michelineful]

Je n'en reviens pas encore une fois une autre de vos chansons que je fredonne, je suis stupéfaite , éblouis, heureuse et enchantée de vous connaître et j'en ai le coeur touchée d'entendre cette chanson je suis heureuse Merci encore Merci

[JubalCalif]

Wow! What a beautiful rendition of one of the world's most beautiful songs. She has such an angelic voice. Thanks so much for posting it!

[x23biggestfan]

et d'une chanson d'amour, la mer

a bercé mon coeur pour la vie

[x23biggestfan]

la mer qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs a des reflets d'argent, la mer des reflets changeants sous la pluie la mer au ciel d'été confond ses blancs moutons avec les anges si purs, la mer bergère d'azur infinie voyez près des étangs ces grands roseaux mouillés voyez ces oiseaux blancs et ces maisons rouillées la mer les a bercés le long des golfes clairs et d'une chanson d'amour, la mer a bercé mon coeur pour la vie la mer les a bercés le long des golfes clairs

[MattTheOak]

Personally, I think this is an awful version!

[jrg8008]

Françoise has an angelic voice.

There is also a beautiful version of La Mer by German singer Heino here on YouTube.

[bjohnwords]

Old sreets I have walked !! THE OYSTER Time is precious understand The looking glass a grain of sand Cast inside a crystal sky Time never moves just passes by A pearl of wisdom overhead I understood but never said The looking glass just filtered through That time is precious so are you Cycling is highly recommended, but where too?

[ketinunkantim]

Yeah, man... La mer... one of my favorites too.. and I didn't know, till know, it had lyrics.... From my old young times I only have heard it played ... by orchestras....

Thank you, very very beatfiful.

[GeorgeRizov]

Joyeux anniversaire Françoise Hardy !

Happy Birthday Françoise Hardy!

[giold]

c'est supeeer!

[komodiakarma]

Dedicated to my Favorite FRENCHIE. ISA!! Rec'd the post card---J'adore. I actually have two little Limoge boxes-hand painted RIGHT THERE IN LIMOGE. Le Charmant! Ooo-La-La. Someday I will come to France... And you will meet my pal Therese from ROME and Cathy from Belgium and we will sit in a French cafe and whistle at the men, while we drink Champagne...* LoL- ( I have informed my pals of this already. I just have to get to EUROPE...before I am too old to whistle.!)

[Yitzchak1]

I felt alive only at sea, I felt at the Mediterenian Sea that people actuall do have the choice between heaven and the hell.. heaven is there people just have to choose no to bring the hell there.

[CatBluecanoe]

Yes, Bobby Darin sang it as "Beyond The Sea", but although it has the same tune, it's no longer the same song, the words are different in meaning.

[grimTales1]

Didn't this turn into "Beyond The Sea"? Bobby Darin sang it.

[bclevy]

La Mer was composed by Charles Trenet in 1943and recorded in 1946. It is a French classic,

interpreted here by Francoise hardy.

[madamerotten]

Il est littéralement difficile de ruiner cette chanson, il est si grande. Pas que c'est une mauvaise version, par tous les moyens!

[seaquat]

life is full of romance ;)

[santinoantonio]

Excelente, Wunderbar, Superb, Belissimo!

[astromekk]

Yep another good one!

[nycolas1712]

Excellent !!!

[Yvonne26k]
