Complainte à la mer Lorsque la lune éclot sur la mer de velours Lorsqu'elle se dévoile comme une perle nacrée Le clapotis des flots apaise les coeurs lourds Et adoucit le mal qui les exténuait Ah qu'il fait bon sortir lors des soirées d'automne Souvent je vagabonde, seule sur la jetée Et de doux souvenirs au fond de moi résonnent Chantant au gré des ondes ce refrain suranné Je chante quand vient la nuit ou bien le vague à l'âme Je chante pour tromper l'ennui quand le soleil s'en va Je chante à en perdre l'esprit le long du brise lame Je chante car tu es parti et car je pense à toi Les enfants de la mer dormiront bien en paix Ce soir, opales aux yeux et comptines aux lèvres Par ce chant éphémère, ils offrent leurs secrets à l'hôtesse des cieux et lui confient leur fièvre Lorsque la lune éclot sur la mer de velours Lorsqu'elle se dévoile comme une perle nacrée Le clapotis des flots apaise mon coeur lourd Et soulage le mal de mon amour passé Complaint of the sea 
 When the moon blooms over the velvet sea
 When it unveils itself with a pearly sheen
 The lapping of the waves calms the broken hearts
 And relieves them from the exhausting pain How nice it is to go out in the evening in fall
 I often wander alone on the pier Sweet memories come back to me Singing this old-fashioned song I sing when comes the night or the melancholy 
I sing to while away the time after the sunset I sing until I go crazy, alone on the jetty I sing because you’re gone and I think about you Tonight the children of the sea will sleep peacefully Opals in their eyes, and nursery rhymes on their lips With this short song, they offer their secrets 
To the hostess of the sky, and they share their fever with her When the moon blooms over the velvet sea 
When it unveils itself with a pearly sheen 
The lapping of the waves calms the broken hearts
 And relieves the pain caused by my lost love

Les Enfants de la Mer Lorsque la lune éclot sur la mer de velours Lorsqu'elle se dévoile comme une perle nacrée Le clapotis des flots apaise les cœurs lourds 
Et adoucit le mal qui les exténuait Les enfants de la mer dormiront bien en paix
 Ce soir, opales aux yeux et comptines aux lèvres Par ce chant éphémère, ils offrent leurs secrets A l'hôtesse des cieux et lui confient leur fièvre The Children of the Sea When the moon dawns on the velvet sea When it unfolds like a pearly pearl The lapping of the waves soothes the heavy hearts And softens the evil that was exhausting them The children of the sea will sleep well in peace Tonight opals with eyes and rhymes with the lips By this ephemeral song, they offer their secrets to the hostess of heaven and entrust their fever
