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

    I’m only 16 years old, and most of my friends listen to stuff like Skrillex and always wonder why I like music like this. But honestly, why wouldn’t I? I absolutely love France, its culture, and its music. I can’t wait to see the country on my trip there this March, I’m sure it’s going to be a great experience (:

    What a treasure to the world was Charles Trenet! Like Piaf, Sablon and Matthieu he means France to so many of us from others part of the world. Probably never get anything like 'chanson' again--but no matter, we have recordings!

    Trenet wrote it; others copied it. That simple.

    Isn't this the same tune as 'beyond the sea'? The song in finding Nemo? Does anyone know why this is?

    My father wants me to play this song on his funeral. He was merchant navy officer on convoys during second world war.
