Danse avec nous dans le bel Océan le matin ou le soir sous la lune d'argent. Plonge avec nous dans le flot transparent, chante au soleil dans l'écume et le vent. Mer berce nous dans tes bras caressants Mer berce nous sur ton coeur frémissant.

Dance with us on the beautiful ocean in the morning or evening beneath the silver moon. Dive with us into the limpid waves, sing to the sun in the spray and the wind. Ocean, rock us in your caressing arms, ocean, rock us on your trembling heart.
