La Mer by Charles Trenet, played on chromatic harmonica.

Charles Trenet, the last of the legendary French chanson stars, recently celebrated an incredible sixty years in the music business - and he's still going strong today ! Trenet will inevitably go down in music history as the man who wrote the unforgettable "La Mer". (Trenet claimed to have penned the song in just twenty minutes while in the middle of a train journey between Narbonne and Carcassonne !) "La Mer", which has been translated into dozens of different languages and rocketed to the top of charts all around the world, has undoubtedly become one of the most famous French songs of all time - while its author has become a veritable living legend !

Lyrics in French

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
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.

English Translation

The sea
which we see dancing along the clear gulfs
has silver sparkles.
The sea
has changing sparkles
Under the rain.
The sea
To the summer sky's confuses her white sheep
With angels so pure.
The sea,
Shepherdess of infinite sky.
See
Next to the ponds
Those tall wet reeds.
See
Those white birds
And those rusty houses.
The sea
Has rocked them like a baby
Along the clear gulfs
And with a love song The sea
Has rocked my heart for life.
