La mer se retire(original) |
Les enfants accourent vers elle |
Et crient de joie en bondissant |
Avec des seaux, avec des pelles |
Et leurs parents qui les appellent |
«T'éloigne pas trop, sois prudent» |
Mais doucement, tout doucement |
Doucement, la mer se retire |
Se retire |
Le Soleil qui se couche en elle |
Dans la dernière lueur du jour |
Voudrait la garder pour toujours |
Même la Lune la rappelle |
Pour qu’elle fasse son retour |
Mais doucement, tout doucement |
Doucement, la mer se retire |
Se retire |
Elle laissera derrière elle |
Sur la plage où tombe la nuit |
Des coquillages pêle-mêle |
Des galets longuement polis |
Et des bouchons et des débris |
Et doucement, tout doucement |
Doucement, la mer se retire |
Se retire |
Ses vagues se sont reposées |
Et ses colères redoutables |
Se sont maintenant apaisées |
Laissant quelques châteaux de sable |
Pour protéger l'éternité |
Car doucement, tout doucement |
Doucement, la mer se retire |
Se retire |
(translation) |
The children run to her |
And shout for joy as they leap |
With buckets, with shovels |
And their parents who call them |
"Don't stray too far, be careful" |
But slowly, very slowly |
Slowly the sea recedes |
withdraws |
The Sun that sets within her |
In the last light of day |
Would like to keep her forever |
Even the moon reminds her |
For her to come back |
But slowly, very slowly |
Slowly the sea recedes |
withdraws |
She will leave behind |
On the beach where the night falls |
Jumbled seashells |
Long polished pebbles |
And traffic jams and debris |
And slowly, very slowly |
Slowly the sea recedes |
withdraws |
Its waves have rested |
And his dreadful tantrums |
Have now subsided |
Leaving some sand castles |
To protect eternity |
'Cause slowly, very slowly |
Slowly the sea recedes |
withdraws |
