Château de Sable [English translation]

[Intro]

She had it all

She fell under his charm

He left again like the sea

She fell apart like a sand castle

[Verse 1: Bigflo]

She had it all

She was the most beautiful of the sirens

She came across that pirate one night

Somewhere, in the ramparts of La Rochelle

A cute sailor, she had her eyes fixed on the anchor

Tattooed on his arm

A few beers, some promises

And voilà, there's the beauty diving between his sheets

He was very strong, she was in need

He knew the Great North, she was crossing the desert

In exchange for her weakness, he promised her a treasure

He told her: "You are my pearl, you are my soul"

He told her: "You are my salt, you are my sand

And when I'm no longer moving forward, you are my sail

And if I am lost, you are my guiding light"

Poor fresh water siren, she believed that river pirate

She drank in his sea-water words

He offered her a bouquet of venimous anemones

He didn't want to play the role of a wonderful man

He engraved "I love you" on a pebble

Just before sailing away

He left her in tears on the beach

And ever since then she stands, awaiting the tidal wave

[Chorus]

She had it all

She fell under his charm

He left again like the sea

She fell apart like a sand castle

She had it all

She fell under his charm

He left again like the sea

She fell apart like a sand castle

Sand castle, sand castle

She fell apart like a sand castle

Sand castle, sand castle

She fell apart like a sand castle

[Verse 2: Oli]

You should see her, she who paddles alone

She's very suspicious of his crew

And at night when the storm comes

She closes in on herself like a shell

She would do anything to hear him again

No one waits for him anymore at the port

She was Queen for a day, now here she is in Hell

She destests love, it's worse than sea-sickness

She rushes through the mist, escapes to her sadness

Another shipwreck, wrecks by the dozen

Rocked by the sound of the wind, the weather and the speed

It all seems too much, her ship without a captain

And often at night, it drives her mad

The stars do not hear her wishes

She was so fixed on the horizon

That her eyes have turned blue

She sees herself writing their names in the sand again

A prediction of a fleeting tale

And in the evening when the low tide comes

She finds herself before a heap of bottles in the sea

And she copies his name into her logbook

She would have done anything to stop him from going

She still has hope of finding her treasure

But in leaving, he had torn up the map

Pretty siren, who a pirate had cursed

Searching for a privateer to travel

But what she's never told us

Is that she can't swim

[Chorus]

She had it all

She fell under his charm

He left again like the sea

She fell apart like a sand castle

She had it all

She fell under his charm

He left again like the sea

She fell apart like a sand castle

Sand castle, sand castle

She fell apart like a sand castle

Sand castle, sand castle

She fell apart like a sand castle

[Outro]

The sea is great, and it will prevail

In time pretty one, don't you worry

The sea is great, and it will prevail

In time pretty one, don't you worry

The sea is great, and it will prevail

In time pretty one, don't you worry
