Quand les rhums succombent au fond des bars
When rums succumb at the bottom of bars
Les vieux marins racontent au bout du soir
Old sailors tell stories at the end of the evening
Evangile ou contrebande ou vraies histoires
Gospel or smuggling or true tales
Cette ancienne légende je préfère y croire
This old legend, I prefer to believe in it
Yoenaï mi femme, mi sirène
Yoenaï, half woman, half siren
Qui la croise se perd
Whoever crosses her path gets lost
Au fond des océans
At the bottom of the oceans
Yoenaï te charme et puis t'entraine
Yoenaï charms you and then pulls you in
Que les dieux t'en protègent
May the gods protect you from her
Diable de l'océan
Devil of the ocean
On dit que son regard est un adieu
They say her gaze is a farewell
Si tu la croises, gare
If you meet her, beware
Baisse les yeux
Lower your eyes
Qu'un bateau disparaisse, on la supplie
We beg for a ship to disappear
Entre larme et détresse, on la maudit
Between tears and distress, we curse her
Yoenaï mi femme, mi sirène
Yoenaï, half woman, half siren
Qui la croise se perd
Whoever crosses her path gets lost
Au fond des océans
At the bottom of the oceans
Yoenaï te charme et puis t'entraine
Yoenaï charms you and then pulls you in
Que les dieux t'en protègent
May the gods protect you from her
Diable de l'océan
Devil of the ocean
Yoenaï
Yoenaï
Mi ange mi démone
Half angel, half demon
Ensorcelle les hommes
She enchants men
Epargne nos enfants
Spare our children
