On A La Mer

Michel Fugain
On A La Mer
Paroles: J. Schmitt, 1966
Dents,
Il avait dans le coeur l'amour du large et des grands vents,
Et quand il embarquait par tro gro temp, il nou disai
"Nou, on n'a pas de cimetière, on a la me"

Quand il ne revint pas un beau matin, un beau matin,
Les femmes ne pleuraient pas, elles joignaient seulement leurs mains,
Les hommes ne disaient rien mais ils pensaient: "Un jour, qui sait...
Nous, on n'a pas de cimetière, On A La Mer"

Et quand la vague un jour nous ramena une fleur,
On l'a compris, qu'il nous laissait encore son coeur.

Il avait une fleur entre les dents, entre les dents,
Il avait dans le coeur l'amour du large et des grands vents;
Quand nous parlons de lui, tout en riant, on se redit:
"Nous, on n'a pas de cimetière, On A La Mer".

By the Sea

Michel Fugain
By the Sea
Words: J. Schmitt, 1966
Teeth,
In his heart he had the love of the ocean and the strong winds,
And when he'd sail in a huge storm, he'd say to us,
"We don't have a cemetery, we have the sea."

When he didn't come back one beautiful morning, one beautiful morning,
The women didn't weep, they only joined their hands,
The men didn't say anything but they'd think: "One day, who knows...
We don't have a cemetery, We have the Sea."

And when the wave one day swept a flower toward us,
We understood that he had left us his heart.

He had a flower between his teeth, between his teeth,
In his heart he had the love of the ocean and the strong winds;
When we talk about him, we laugh and tell each other:
"We don't have a cemetery, We have the Sea".
