La mer est paisible, allons
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Chœur :
  La mer est paisible, allons,
  Tout ici est rassurant.
  Nous aurons une heureuse traversée,

  Soufflez seulement,
  Du froid Borée
  Calmez la colère. 
  D'un souffle agréable
  Soyez généreux,
  Que par vous soit répandu
  Partout l'amour.
