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