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

"beyond the sea" I ment

Is this song a bit close to "golden sands" here in America?

Ce n'est que juste qu'on apprécie la version française et anglais. Moi je suis anglais mais je préfère les paroles françaises - elles ont plus de sentiment - la version anglais, bien qu'il soit beau, il ne donne pas le même message.

@jorgeubaque You might not realise that it was originally writen in French by Charles Trenet with the melody by Leo Chauliac. You will know it as 'Beyond The Sea' sung by Bobby Darin and others. I like Bobby Darin's rendition, but please do not scorn the original version.
