Mer
Sea
Mon cœur pèse des tonnes
My heart weighs tons
Et mon corps s'abandonne
And my body gives up
Si léger à la mer
So light at sea
La mer pleure ses vagues
The sea cries its waves
Qui ont un goût de larmes
Who taste like tears
Et s'en vont, éphémères
And go away, ephemeral
Se perdre en la terre
Get lost in the earth
Se fondre à la terre
Blend into the earth
Mer
Sea
Magique, originelle
Magical, original
Dans son rythme essentiel
In its essential rhythm
Le ventre de la mer
The belly of the sea
Vous garde pour vous jeter
Keeps you to throw you
Dans un monde desséché
In a dry world
Qui n'est fait que de terre
Which is only made of earth
Où je n'ai jamais
Where I never
Su ce qu'il faut faire
Know what to do
Et la vague danse et joue
And the wave dances and plays
Puis se brise
Then breaks
Et la mer, tout à coup
And the sea, suddenly
Devient grise
Turns gray
Mon amour est si lourd à porter
My love is so heavy to carry
Je voudrais doucement me coucher
I would like to go to bed slowly
Dans la mer
In the sea
Magique, originelle
Magical, original
Dans son rythme essentiel
In its essential rhythm
Je voudrais que la mer
I would like the sea
Me reprenne pour renaître
Take me back to be reborn
Ailleurs que dans ma tête
Other than in my head
Ailleurs que sur la terre
Other than on earth
Où sans mon amour
Where without my love
Je ne peux rien faire
I can not do anything
