La mer [English translation]

The sea,

which is seen dancing

along the clear gulfs,

has silvery glints.

The sea,

glints changing

in the rain.

The sea,

in the summer sky,

mixes its white sheep

with the so pure angels.

The sea,

shepherd of infinite

blue ... oh, yes, eh!

See,

beside the ponds,

those big red rushes.

See those white birds

and those rust-coloured houses.

The sea

has cradled them

along the clear gulfs

and a love song.

The sea,

oh, has cradled in my heart

for life...Life!
