Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Regarder La Mer by Alain Barriere from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Et je reste des heures à regarder la mer
And I stay for hours looking at the sea
Le coeur abasourdi, les pensées de travers
The heart stunned, the thoughts crooked
Et je ne comprends rien à ce triste univers
And I don't understand anything about this sad universe
Tout est couleur de pluie tout est couleur d'hiver
Everything is the color of rain everything is the color of winter
Je suis ce fier bateau qu'on vit un jour partir
I am this proud boat that one day we saw leave
Et qui n'en finit plus de ne plus revenir
And who never stops coming back
La mer a ses amants qui s'enivrent de vent
The sea has its lovers who get drunk on the wind
La mer a ses amants qui se grisent à ses fêtes
The sea has its lovers who get drunk at its parties
Qui ne me comprend pas ne comprend pas la mer
Who doesn't understand me doesn't understand the sea
Je n'aurai donc été en ce grand univers
I would therefore not have been in this great universe
Qu'un de ces marins-là qui vont en solitaire
That one of those sailors who go alone
Et l'inutile cri d'une inutile fête
And the useless cry of a useless party
Et je reste des heures
And I stay for hours
Et je reste des heures à regarder la mer
And I stay for hours looking at the sea
