J'ai vu
I've seen
Tant de mers tant de rivages
So many seas, so many shores
Tant de ciel, de paysages
So much sky, of landscapes
J'ai vu
I've seen
Tant d'escales et tant de ports
So many stopovers and so many ports
J'ai pu
I've been able to
Me chauffer au creux des îles
Warm myself in the warmth of the islands
Me cacher au fond des villes
Hide myself deep in the cities
J'ai pu marcher sur des sables d'or
I've been able to walk on golden sands
J'ai vu des matins
I've seen mornings
De joies de chagrins
Of joys, of sorrows
De rires et d'envies
Of laughs and of desires
De peines et de bonheur dans ma vie
Of troubles and of happiness in my life
J'ai cru
I thought
Etre au bout de l'aventure
I was at the end of the adventure
Mais mon coeur lui me murmure
But my heart whispers to me
Qu'il y a tant de rêves à vivre encore
That there are so many dreams still to live
J'ai cru
I thought
Etre au bout de l'aventure
I was at the end of the adventure
Mais mon coeur lui me murmure
But my heart whispers to me
Qu'il y a tant de rêves à vivre encore
That there are so many dreams still to live

Did you like this lyrics translation?
rivages — shores
Rivages translates to "shores" or "coastlines". While not extremely rare, it's a more poetic and less common word than simply "plages" (beaches) or "côtes" (coasts).
In Henri Salvador's song, he uses rivages to evoke a sense of extensive travel and exploration, having seen "Tant de mers tant de rivages" (So many seas, so many shores). It paints a picture of a life rich with diverse experiences and journeys, making it an engaging word for learners.
