Lyrics:
The sea
La mer
That we see dancing
Qu'on voit danser
Along the clear gulfs
Le long des golfes clairs
Has reflections of silver
A des reflets d'argent
The sea
La mer
Changing reflections
Des reflets changeants
Under the rain
Sous la pluie
The sea
La mer
In the summer sky
Au ciel d'été
Confuses its white sheep
Confond ses blancs moutons
With angels so pure
Avec les anges si purs
The sea
La mer
Azure shepherdess, infinite
Bergère d'azur, infinie
See
Voyez
Near the ponds
Près des étangs
These big wet reeds
Ces grands roseaux mouillés
See
Voyez
These white birds
Ces oiseaux blancs
And these rusty houses
Et ces maisons rouillées
The sea
La mer
Rocked them
Les a bercés
Along the clear gulfs
Le long des golfes clairs
And a love song
Et d'une chanson d'amour
The sea
La mer
Cradled my heart for life
A bercé mon cœur pour la vie
The sea
La mer
That we see dancing
Qu'on voit danser
Along the clear gulfs
Le long des golfes clairs
Has reflections of silver
A des reflets d'argent
The sea
La mer
Changing reflections
Des reflets changeants
Under the rain
Sous la pluie
The sea
La mer
In the summer sky merges
Au ciel d'été confond
Its white sheep
Ses blancs moutons
With angels so pure
Avec les anges si purs
The sea
La mer
Azure shepherdess, infinite
Bergère d'azur, infinie
See (see)
Voyez (voyez)
Near ponds (near ponds)
Près des étangs (près des étangs)
These big wet reeds (see these reeds)
Ces grands roseaux mouillés (voyez ces roseaux)
See (see)
Voyez (voyez)
These white birds (these white birds)
Ces oiseaux blancs (ces oiseaux blancs)
And these rusty houses (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Et ces maisons rouillées (la-la-la-la-la-la)
The sea

Rocked them
Les a bercés
Along the clear gulfs
Le long des golfes clairs
And a love song
Et d'une chanson d'amour

English speakers, yes, the song Beyond the Sea is the english translation of this song
Did I ask ?
@@KOZOarmond Well, I did ask so get the hell out of here.
And why this dumb youtuber pin your comments ?
its not a direct translation, phrases like *the sea, reflecting like it's silver* are not in the english song, it's really different
@@KOZOarmond shut up
This song was in the Mr. Bean movie & that's how I permanently remember it.
Same. My childhood
No,this is only french music classic.no more.
YES
Yeah I know this song from Mr. Bean movie too.
The final scene in the movie: ua-cam.com/video/bXS1LMaU7TM/v-deo.html
I know this song since I was a child, today i heard it on a episode of Black Mirror I loved it.
Same here that's what that brought me back
i came from mr bean's holiday, i came back from black mirror
Definitely my favorite episode after Loch Henry
@@justacomment97 I didn't care much for Loch Henry. Mazey Day was interesting
@JohnnyMercy The end was crazy 👍
I imagine myself in Cannes somewhere in 1950s, listening to this song on the beach, watching sparkling sea and reflecting about life.
Charles Trenet was inspired by Étang de Thau near Montpellier. It is not a sea but he had this idea in a train while seeing the Etang. It is really beautiful and inspiring. If you go to France I advised you to visit Sète, Palavas,...
Cannes is awful😅
@@flashpanshmecker Hey, I've been to Nice and Grasse, and I liked it so much but it is very expensive.
Yes for me it is also about reflection. I can see myself in 1946 or 1947, just after WWII and everything breaths great hope for a new future but when we look at the sea we realise it was there always and it was there when that war happened. The sea saw it all even with the bright sun on a clear day somewhere in 1947 the sound f small waves crushing on the shore seems like the faint voices of those not here to enjoy that bright future. That is a bit what this song does to me.
I can imagine it after going on a train trip, then losing my ticket, then hitchhiking through France before watching a movie premiere in Cannes and immediately going to the beach afterwards.
Cannes, that reminds me of a movie
This was my grandads favourite song. It was his funeral today and it played
Rest In Peace
My late condolences... :( May he rest in peace...
Sorry for your loss
My condolences. We will play it at my dads funeral tomorrow. With happy childhood memories from the Normandy!
@@hajosworld I'm so sorry for your loss... :(
The best music to listen to being stuck in space together after unimaginable trauma
Man this song is just sad for me after that episode
Did you know the name of the others song in that chapter?
@@valeriamoramelchor2442 What other song?
@@valeriamoramelchor2442 ‘Quand on n’a que l’amour’ - Jacques Brel
What are you referencing
I don't speak a word of French, but the passion and warmth of this song transcends language.
Indeed. :) It's as if all cares of the world are so dim when beholding the beauty and and feeling the warmth of the sea... That's basically the song in a nutshell.
My dream in my life is simply listening to this at the south of France while I sit on a beach on a lounger all by self
Is what i do all the summer,i simply enjoy the awesome sight of the côte azur,and i thank god for living very close to it
I have the exact same comment like yours on the remastered version.
Shows how good it is.
Wait that is my comment
@@idontlikewind.554 i’m going to see it
@@marpo2521 it’s in this comment section sorry.
When you finally arrived at the beach
Lol
Imagine arriving at the beach after the whole of France is hunting you down for allegedly "kidnapping" a director's child
@@humanman2358 and coming home being a hero
@@humanman2358 lmao haha
MR Bean approves
This was a perfect ending for Mr Beans holiday , he finally made it to the beach
We all know this song because of Mr Bean
@@pyaesonephyothu1 not exactly. I heard it first in the movie series “Lost”. Unfortunately, there it was linked more to despair rather than fun
I love that movie!
I was 7/8 when I first heard this in Penge, London , with 2 girl friends. We didn’t speak French but played it over and over and learned the lyrics phonetically. Later as a poor teen , in a poor family , I promised myself that I would retire to France one day. I was lucky enough to succeed in business to choose to retire at 50 y o, ( at my wife’s suggestion) I am still here at 82 .
I love that story.
Did you retire to France? If so, was it the dream you hoped for?
I hope you are happy and blessed! :) Love, from Canada.
I first heard this song from Mr. Bean's Holiday, I always preferred the Bobby Darin version even then but now after the Beyond the Sea episode of Black Mirror, I have a newfound appreciation for this song. Its timeless.
A simply beautiful song, in any language, a good song, is a good song forever! ❤
I'm learning French.
I'm gonna understand the lyrics one day and then I'm gonna sing it all the time.
Yesss
Where will you sing? UA-cam channel?
...Magnifique
Have a look at this nice gentlemen right under your comment, Monsieur Veroun Bhim, he wrote down the entire song, line by line in both French & English, you can start singing my friend.....la mer....
Tip, la mer means: the beach, the sea
I was on the first "school cruise" in Scotland in 1962 ,and they played this every morning to waken us...thank you for the memory!
Fun times :’)
Such a "classy and posh" school trip, using a french chanson as music for pupils.
hell for eternity prove otherwise
Woww, i my mom was not alive yet.
*Bonnie Scotland
Dieser Song ist alterslos und wunderschön,einfach großartig
❤❤❤
En plus d'être belle, cette chanson a une signification particulière pour moi car elle me rappelle beaucoup mon père. Merci

Remembering my late wife and all the time we spent at the coasts of Normandie, Bretagne and not to forget at St. Malo. Goodbye Martina. I will never forget you.
❤️❤️
My partner and I have an activity of sending each other very old songs. This is our favourite one.
That's so sweet!
This song is the definition of pure french aesthetic.
Somehow it makes me teary-eyed thinking it was the last of Mr Bean movies...love you always 💐💐
my dream is singing this song on the beach in Cannes with my glasses on and worrying about nothing...Just chillin and forget all my problems...I hope that day will come...Btw hope you're doing great and you like your life...
As do I.
Dreams are meant to be come true! See you in Cannes this summer! ❤️ 🇫🇷
@Mariana yep we should
this French love song to the sea (la mer) was composed and written by Charles Trenet in 1943, during the Nazi occupation of France. One might consider it pure escapism from the grinding horrors of the occupation; or maybe as a joyful celebration of the world in the face of cruel oppression. There's no direct allusion to a human lover, but this is an invitation to enjoy life. So thanks, Charles!
My father's favorite song
I don't care
You me too@@Mertofduty1666
@@Mertofduty1666 😂
This song is about to get a lot more popular
This for me is the most archetypical French chanson ever. It speaks mediterranean, it speaks joie de vivre, it speaks summer days, blue skies, dejeuners sur l'herbe, but also 1950s and 60s flower-power, and always small tear from how time may passes: a la recherche du temps perdus. This is France in nutshell in all its aspects.
Play this non stop when on holiday in Cannes
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!!!
I fucked hank
I remember my high school French teacher introducing me to this song in Year eleven. Thanks to her, I learned the French lyrics and they have stayed with me for life. I can never visit any coastal place without playing this song in my head.
This was played at my great grandad’s funeral. Rest in peace, grandpa Stan…
Played at my dad's funeral, forever in my heart this song ♥️
this is one of the reasons i’m happy i grew up learning french!
This song always brings me tears of joy...life is hard, you can lose it all at once...changing like the sea but...damn it's beautiful...THANK YOU GOD FOR MUSIC,FOR THE SEA AND FOR LIFE!!!
This is the version of perfection...from day one.
Black Mirror brought me
French is a beautiful language
It flows… ❤
Me too. Now I need more.
It was used in Lost first
You hear this song and you feel just like you are on the beach, watch the sea and feel so calm
10/10 would reccomend this for your next space travel
This song is just so special. Charles Trenet is truly magical. A performance for all time.
Das Lied, das sich meine französischstämmige Cousine zu ihrem Begräbnis wünscht. Sie starb vergangene Woche an ALS. Erfüllt mich mit schönen Erinnerungen aus meiner Kindheit mit meinen Cousinen im Elsass. Sie liebte das Meer ...
Wir haben gestern einen lieben Nachbarn zu Grabe getragen. Auch er, passionierter Segler, liebte dieses Lied und es war so bewegend, es gestern in der Kapelle auf dem Friedhof Melaten bei der Trauerfeier zu hören. Voller Melancholie aber dennoch eine Ode an das Leben
Très belle chanson française elle fait effet quand vous êtes à 15m de la mer surtout la mer de cancale.

My wife thinks French is the most beautiful language in the world. Listening to this, I might agree. C'est Magnifique (sic
Just love this song and Charles!!❤❤
Such a lovely song. Just close your eyes and enjoy the epic description of relaxing day at beach ❤
This song just got a whole lot darker 😭😭
black mirror is so good wow
Wunderschön!!!!!
Ich weine jedesmal.
Einfach und denoch so viel!
Souce d'énergies, de ressourcements...Oh la Mer ❤❤❤

Jesus how much time did you take!!
Ive listened a 1000 times without... oh aight!
Just what I've been looking for - bilingual lyrics. Merci beaucoup!
Merci
To think like the thinking that went into this compared to the songs nowadays all they say is robbery, guns for 3 mins
Merci
Plus le temps passe ..est encore plus belle cette chanson....🎶♥️🎶♥️🎶♥️🎶
The wonder of French popular music should never fade.
I really love this song. My compliments to the singer and composer Charles tenet.
What a beautiful voice! I had never heard anything but Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" with its completely different English lyrics (a love song) and a different genre (jazz). Nice to see what the composer, Trenet, intended.
This song has been stuck in my brain for 6years yes.
A truly ethereal and timeless piece of music.
Imagine listening to this at the end of WWII, when it was just “released”
Like the best of French songs it has a both celebratory and tragic sound to it. Life and death.
It came out in 1946. WWII ended in 1945.
@@goldenvulture6818 you are quite thick
Din câte știu acesta e cel mai bun cântec din istorie !
Magnificent! What a most beautiful voice, composer, and song stylist! So Original! I can't listen to him enough.
C'est vraiment une chanson magnifique ! 😊
C'est une chanson tellement belle, romantique et passionnée ! Je l'aime!
Many years ago after finishing Blue Collar and heard the song come on the screen my heart started beating to the rhythm. Soon after I began learning French and I always come back to Charles Trenet's song. I was and still I'm learning about art, architecture and so much more. I visited Versailles once before Covid-19. It was delightful and romantic! ❤ 💎 🎤
Listening to this song every morning, ohh it's so relaxing and rejuvenating!!!

Merci au film "Les vacances de Mr Bean" pour m'avoir fait découvrir ce chef-d’œuvre
Thanks to the movie "Mr Bean's Holliday" for making me discover the masterpiece
Still the best rendition by far of this much-recorded song.
Tatiana Eva-Marie's cover is just as good if not better
I remember watching mr bean's holiday! So nostalgic? Also once listened this song with my iPod in Cannes back in 2011. So nostalgic! ♥️🎶
Je viens de me réveiller au beau milieu de la nuit après avoir fait un rêve étrange qui m'a donné la nausée avec l'envie soudaine d'écouter cette chanson car j'ai eu d'un coup ce refrain dans la tête...
Ça va mieux maintenant alors je vais essayer de me rendormir 💤💤
This early recording by Charles Trenet is wonderful.
Quelle merveilleuse chanson un poème inoubliable j ' adore cette version merci infiniment
Irremplaçable !!! Unique !!! Indémodable !!!
I was listening to this song as I was looking the people passing by on the seaside road of Nice . It was around 7-7:30 pm. What a memory
Thanks to Mr.Bean
“She loved the sea. She liked the sharp salty smell of the air, and the vastness of the horizons bounded only by a vault of azure sky above. It made her feel small, but free as well.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Jetzt deutsch. Ich habe es bei meiner Oma als kleines Kind gehört und musste an Urlaub, Sonne und Strand denken. Meine Ostsee. Ich liebe dich. 🥰
I don't speak anything in French, but i love this song and La vie en rose and Quelqu'un m'a dit. Thanks from Brazil, anyway i can say a word, Merci
Description de le Méditerranée des annees 60... nostalgie. Maintenant c pollution, plastiques, béton et embouteillage ! Magnifique chanson merci Trenet !
Classics never get old, I'm young but I love this song and others
Ah yes, the nostalgic
I could not forget about this 👌
merveilleuse chanson
Monsieur TRENET Cette chanson a fait le tour du monde et c est tant mieux
que cette composition
vous soit louée a tout jamais
I first heard this song on Mr Bean’s Holiday and his whole attitude on the holiday resonated with me. Before COVID I would regularly travel to France, being from the UK it’s only a one hour trip away on the ferry. I would visit every two-three months, I would not sleep the night before I go as I was too excited! I would leave my home at 4am to travel to Dover where upon arrival I’d enjoy a curry then sit on the pebble beach listened to the sea come in and out and lay under the stars feeling my anxiety and stress wash away with the waves. A real sense of calm came over me. The following morning I would walk to the port full of excitement and stand on the deck watching the White Cliffs of Dover and just listen to the sound of the sea before I would get breakfast. As France came into view my excitement becomes uncontrollable and I would disembark as a foot passenger and head into town a mere 15 minutes away. I’d take a nice deep breath and listen to local French radio on my phone as I walk into town (I’d always record it to enjoy back home) and I’d stop into my favorite bakery for a cake, something different every time before picking somewhere to stay for a couple of days and off I went. I’d party with the locals, eat local food and buy more cheese than humanly possible. On the day I am sailing back to the UK I’d go food shopping; cheese, jam, sweets for my nephews and buy food to enjoy on the way back home such as a quiche. I’d visit this antique shop for something old and nice. I’d book my ferry back at 4pm but end up pushing it back to 11pm! On the way back to the port I’d walk very slowly and enjoy the sights, the sounds, the smells and I’d stand on the ferry deck listening to French radio until the signal went and France was no longer in sight - by then I was half way through the journey.
I’d always treat it as if it was the last time I was going, you never know how life can turn on you.
This song inspired me to start learning French ❤❤
Yay! Good luck!
I am in a few days there! Back at the place were i belong! ❤
La piu' bella canzone che mai sia stata fatta per il mare.....❤
Grazie mille. È tanto vero. Poco fa ero a Torvaïanica, vicino al Lido di Ostia , ho cantato quel canzone.
Pensavo di essere l'unico italiano qui.
Tremenda Canción de Charles Trenet. Estas si son Canciones. Yo desde el Año 1988 he Escuchado muchas Veces esta Canción. Ya tengo 42 Años. Saludos desde Chile.
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
I also appreciate Bobby Darin's rendition too.
Ein herzhaftes Moin Moin an alle Durchgeknallten.
Wir übertragen heute live aus dem Gastbreder Freizeitstadion…
I love this song so much you have no idea. It brings me so much joy!!
I'm glad!
Whenever I hear this songs it makes me think of the Stunning Alpine Villages of France and Andorra 🇦🇩
Hey David, let me back in !
I'm afraid I can't do that, Cliff.
C'est vraiment une chanson spéciale, inoubliable.
Charles Trénet a du être inspiré. Il l'a d'ailleurs laissé comprendre..
Ce fut dans un train longeant la mer et ceci en quelques minutes.
Quand il le racontait il paraissait encore étonné.
je suis dac avec toi sauf que moi je dois apprendre cette poésie et moi les poésies c'est pas mon truc
Mr Bean's Holiday... a fitting tune to describe Cannes' serenity and beaches.. paradise!
Wtf. Black MIrror is back with a bang. Such a dark episode
WHAT A LOVELY SONG A TRUE OLDIE .....
AN EVERGREEN * * * * * TIMELESS AGELESS * * * * * *
What fascinates me most about French, Spanish and Italian singers is that they can stand alone on the stage, orchestra in the pit, and a theatre full of adoring fans. No frills, no special effects, a voice, an orchestra and the public. That’s all.
wow.merci.
Les belles viellies chansons qui seront toujours très apprecieés.
Well that's another song I'll never here in the same way again...
