La mer me rend vivant et me panse, rêveur,
ses lumières sont des cathédrales dansantes,
où mon âme recueille les plus douces fleurs,
Gueules de loup, brunelles, roses consentantes,

La voir c'est aimer l'infini et l'évidence,
c'est préférer l'air pur à l'éphémère temps,
le souffle des rues a d'amères indécences,
que la mer disperse de ses lucides chants.

Elle me retient comme une soeur apaisante,
tissant doutes et broderies de son enfance,
sur la voile qui navigue, douleurs naissantes,

Oui vraiment, les tristesses doivent s'en aller,
loin de la vieille Europe qui chavire et danse,
car la mer nous emporte pour nous consoler...

The sea makes me alive and soothes me, dreamer,
her lights are dance cathedrals,
where my soul collects the softest flowers,
Mouths of wolf, brunelles, willing roses,

To see her it is to like the infinity and the obvious fact,
it is to prefer the pure air in the short-lived time,
breath of the streets has bitter indecencies,
that the sea scatters wth her lucid singings.

She retains me as a soothing sister,
weaving doubts and embroidery of her childhood,
on the sail which navigates, rising pains,

Yes really, the sadnesses have to go away,
far from old Europe which capsizes and dances,
because the sea takes us to console us...

Yann, tu comprends si bien la mer que ce n’est pas difficile à croire qu’elle est ta soeur!
