La vague [English translation]

I am a wave, I was born

On a beach in Italy

On a beautiful summer morning

My beginnings were difficult

I wasn't very gentle

I had a hard time supporting me

Because the children,on holiday,

In a great disregard

They all splashed themselves with me.

And I, small quiet water

I dreamed of waves of islands

I dreamed I was home

And me,small quiet water

I dreamed of waves of islands

I dreamed I was home

A day of great courage

I went away swimming

I did not know very well how to swim

I left without any luggage

Except a small shell

With which I had a friendship.

Since I took off

I know many other charges

Large boats came to face me.

So I support them

So I take them away

Towards a Mediterranean port

So I support them

So I take them away

Towards a Mediterranean port.

I am a wave. I was born

On a beach in Italy

On a beautiful summer morning

But today I scrapes

I'm bored and I'm lapping

The old walls of a disused wharf

My mother, my mother, I regret

The little deserted beach

Where children were playing with me.

Pray that the wind picks up,

So that I'll go to my death strike

That I did not know.

And if it's not rocket science (the whole sea to drink)

I would want to write my memoirs

In the hot sand of the heathens

And if it's not rocket science

I would write my memoirs

In the hot sand of the waters behond.
