Charles Trénet - La Mer (English Lyrics, Paroles Français)

En française :

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
Prés des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées
La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A berce mon cœur pour la vie
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
Prés des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouilles
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées
La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
Pour la vie


In English:

The sea
Where crystal-clear waves dance the gulfs
Of silver reflections
The sea
Of changing reflections
Under skies of grey
The sea
Under the weaving summer sky
Clouds like white sheep
With angles, pure as gold
The sea
Like a sapphire shepherdess
So infinite
Look!
To the ponds nearby
Where wet reeds grow tall
Look!
These white-feathered birds
And those rusty old homes
The sea
Cradling them
Along the crystal-clear gulfs
All for a song of love
The sea
Will nourish my heart for all my life
The sea
Where crystal-clear waves dance the gulfs
Of silver reflections
The sea
Of changing reflections
Under skies of grey
The sea
Under the weaving summer sky
Clouds like white sheep
With angles, pure as gold
The sea
Like a sapphire shepherdess
So infinite
Look!
To the ponds nearby
Where wet reeds grow tall
Look!
These white-feathered birds
And those rusty old homes homes
The sea
Cradling them
Along the crystal-clear gulfs
All for a song of love
The sea
For all my life
Will nourish my heart for all my life

[DisleyDavid]

Astonishingly beautiful song. I suspect that only in french can rusty homes sound romantic. perfection.

[ProbradIII]

@DisleyDavid lol Yes, I'm afraid you're right! There's always something lost in translation.

[theguyinthecloset]

@ProbradIII a good part of it was lost in translation many parts are wrong in the translation ex: with angles, pure as gold is actualy with ANGELS so pure, also it should be "the sea that we see dancing by the clear gulfs" not "the sea where clear waves dance the gulf" those two are the ones that really made no sense with the original that "jumped to my eyes" as the french say.
