Ta Marinière Lyrics in English Hoshi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Hoshi / Ta Marinière

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ta Marinière by Hoshi from French to English.

Behind your cigarette

In my heart, you were a big hit

I'm looking for happiness

Maybe it's in your sheets

You hacked my soul

While I was surfing the wave

And I blew it all, I'm rowing

While I had you in my madrague

Take off your bottoms or your tops

You're so pretty, you drive me crazy

I dream you'll come onto my boat

That we party all night long

Port or starboard, we'll drift away

I want your body, my treasure

I'm waiting for you on the other shore

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

The ocean carries us away

But I don't know if you know

That when water crosses my door

Even if it's a disaster, it's funny

Come join my crew

Catch me on the pier

We'll surely shipwreck

But at least we'll have tried

So if today I dive

Into love while yelling "board!"

It's 'cause I'm extending my stay

Even if I have to swim back

I can see you're freaking out

And you even strike back at me

So let's run on the sand

Before somebody else approaches you

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

Single till tomorrow

She strikes a pose in a swimsuit

Sailor shirt looks for its sailor

Ready to stay on land just for her hand

Single till tomorrow

She strikes a pose in a swimsuit

Sailor shirt looks for its sailor

Ready to stay on land just for her hand

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

And on your sailor shirt

I'm looking for our hyphen

You threw it into the sea

To feed the fish

To our April poisons

The two of us is harder than drinking the sea

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

Don't shed a single thread

You'd make your mirror fall in love

SONG MEANING

Imagine standing on a sun-soaked pier while a striped-shirted crush sends your heart spinning like a compass needle. Ta Marinière wraps flirtation and longing in salty sea air, following a narrator who has been "hacked" by love and now dreams of midnight parties on a rocking boat. With every puff of the other’s cigarette and every playful command to "take off your stockings or your top," the song paints a picture of instant attraction that feels as risky as it is irresistible.

Hoshi turns romance into a nautical adventure: waves become emotions, a sailor’s top becomes a lost "hyphen" that should link two souls, and the ocean threatens shipwreck at any moment. The lyrics bounce between bold desire ("I want your body, my treasure") and self-aware humor ("even if it’s a disaster, it’s funny"). By mixing vivid maritime imagery with April Fool-style wordplay about "poisons d’avril," the song captures that exhilarating stage when love feels like setting sail without a map. You might sink, you might swim, but you will definitely dance along the way.
