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

The best version is Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli. then this one then bobby's. But the French and English versions both have their merits thought both are abot totally different things...I think this song is great swung(Django swings it but has enough of the french tradition in him to keep it rooted)Darin's version is 'tres Americain' I think Trenet captures the mood of reflection on nature in La Mer while Bobby captures the mood of reflection on love. Django's version makes me cry.
Canção maravilhosa, romântica, com essa interpretação fantástica do saudoso Charles Trenet. Obrigado ao YouTube.Francisco G.Martinez, São Paulo, Brasil.
