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
English Version
Somewhere beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing;
Somewhere beyond the sea,
He's (She's) there watching for me.
If I could fly like birds on high,
Then straight to his (her) arms I'd go sailing.
It's far beyond a star,
It's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.
We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before.
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again I'll go sailing!
