La Mer
Trenet Charles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qu'on voit danser
Le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
Au ciel d'été
Confond ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer
Bergère d'azur, infinie
Voyez
Près des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouillés
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées
La mer
Les a bercés
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie
La mer
Qu'on voit danser
Le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer
Bergère d'azur, infinie
Voyez (voyez)
Près des étangs (près des étangs)
Ces grands roseaux mouillés (voyez ces roseaux)
Voyez (voyez)
Ces oiseaux blancs (ces oiseaux blancs)
Et ces maisons rouillées (la-la-la-la-la-la)
La mer
Les a bercés
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie
The song 'La Mer' by Trenet Charles is a beautiful tribute to the sea. The opening two lines are particularly striking as they describe the sea dance along the clear coasts with reflections of silver. This brings out its beauty and adds to the romantic theme of the song.
The song continues to describe the sea with its changing reflections and its ability to merge with the summer sky, creating amazing imagery. The chorus reinforces the idea that the sea is infinite and timeless, constantly changing yet always the same.
The final part of the song talks about how the sea has not only rocked people but also their hearts with a love song. The sea is portrayed not just as a natural force but also as a symbol of love and affection. Perhaps it is because of the sea's vastness that people feel empowered and connected to it. Overall, Trenet's 'La Mer' is a beautiful and romantic ode to the sea that captures one's imagination with vivid imagery and poetic descriptions.
