Below, I translated the lyrics of the song C'est De L'eau by Les Enfantastiques from French to English.

Seen from the Moon or Jupiter

From way up there, there's no mystery

The blue planet, it's so beautiful

It's water

In the rivers and in the ponds

Little pools and vast oceans

Every lake, torrent, and stream

It's water, it's water

Whatever the color of the clouds

A day of rain, snow, or storm

Every whim of the weather

It's water

Dew on the grass and the flowers

Nature and its thousand colors

The tall oak and the little reed

It's water, it's water

And we're sailors

On the waves

All aboard the same boat

Hoist high

It's water, it's water

A grape and a grain of wheat

Bread, wine, fruit, and milk

The squirrel, the horse, and the bird

It's water

The pure blood that flows in our veins

Sweat when we run till we're breathless

Our whole body, flesh and bones

It's water, it's water

And we're sailors

On the waves

All aboard the same boat

Hoist high

It's water, it's water

A kiss two lovers share

A tear of joy or farewell

That slides ever so softly down the skin

It's water

The ink of a Mozart symphony

Even a poem by Paul Éluard

Picasso's most beautiful painting

It's water

It's water, it's water

And we're sailors

On the waves

All aboard the same boat

Hoist high

It's water, it's water

And we're sailors

On the waves

All aboard the same boat

Hoist high

It's water, it's water

A baby waiting patiently

For the first smile from their mom

What keeps him safe and warm

It's water, it's water

SONG MEANING

Look at Earth from the Moon or Jupiter and one thing jumps out – our world is a shimmering blue marble made of water. In C’est De L’eau, Les Enfantastiques invite us on a joyful voyage that lists every place water hides: rivers, oceans, rain-filled clouds, morning dew, even bread, blood and the tears on a lover’s cheek. The song repeats a simple refrain – “C’est de l’eau, c’est de l’eau” – to remind us that almost everything we touch, taste or feel is part of the same life-giving liquid.

By showing that animals, plants, art and people are all bound together by water, the lyrics turn listeners into sailors on a single shared ship. The message is clear and uplifting: we are crew-mates on the vast waves of our planet, so we must marvel at water’s magic and take care of it. Sing along and you will not only practice French, you will celebrate the substance that keeps every melody, heartbeat and masterpiece afloat.
