MUSIC: "La Mer (The Sea)" by Charles Trenet

 A Beautiful Feel Good Song

Merci, France!!!

This song was used in the film, Mr. Bean's Holiday

To very good effect

If I were to go to beach today

I would probably act just like Mr. Bean

Lyrics in English:

The sea,

We see dancing along the shores of clear bays,

Shimmers with silver

The sea

Changing shimmers

Under the rain

The sea

With the summer sky

Mix up her white horses

With the angels so pure

The infinite azure shepherdess

Sea

Sea

By the ponds

Those big wet reeds

See

Those white birds

And those rusty houses

The sea

Has cradled them

Along the shores of clear bays

And with a love song

The sea

Has rocked my heart for life
