Le vent s'est levé sur le pont du St Michel

Quand elle est passée sur la passerelle

En mer, au large le vent est malhonnête
At sea, offshore the wind is dishonest
Roulis, tangages
Roll, pitch
Il fait perdre la tête
It makes you lose your mind
Matelot navigue, il a roulé ses cordages
Sailor is sailing, he has rolled up his ropes
Puis il a porté les bagages

Est là dans la cabine

Il a dit je dois redescendre aux machines

Adieu, adieu
Farewell, farewell

La mer, le large
