Lyrics: a. deltour. music: a. liaunet, f. decruck 1937
Quand de troubles rêves
When trouble dreams
Hantent le vieux marin
Haunt the old sailor
A l'heure où le soir vient
At the moment the evening comes
L'appel des flots câlins
The call of the cuddly waves
A quoi bon l'écouter sur la grève
What's the point of listening to him on the strike
Car d'autres mers là-bas
For other seas out there
Lui murmuraient tout bas
He whispered low
Des mots que celle-ci ne dit pas
Words she doesn't say
Dans un bouge du vieux port
In a move of the old port
Il se réfugie
He takes refuge
Et berce sa nostalgie
And cradles his nostalgia
De rêves d'or
Golden dreams
L'ardent regret qui le mord
The burning regret that bites him
S'éteint pour une heure
Turns off for an hour
Quand l'accordéon pleure
When the accordion cries
Dans un bouge du port
In a port move
Le chant des sirènes
The song of the mermaids
Jamais il ne l'entend
He never hears it
Ce n'est pas en rêvant
It's not by dreaming
Auprès des flots mouvants
At the shifting waves
Qu'il évoque les terres lointaines
Let him evoke distant lands
Non, ce n'est pas le chant
No, it's not singing
Au bord de l'océan
On the ocean's edge
Qui lui parle des amours d'antan
Who tells him about the loves of yesteryear
{au refrain, x2}
"To the chorus, x2"
