La mer
Paroles et Musique: Charles Trenet ©1945

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

Beautiful!

Better than Beyond the Sea.
 
Plan for the day: Wash, clay bar, wax and detail the race car.

Currently: Drinking coffee, smoking pot and watching the morning news shows.
 
Hearing these people on tv say "Blood and Treasure" when referring to losses in war pisses me off to no end.

Theres nothing romantic about war and it's always people that have never been in one that say it.
 
there's no football on tv that i give a shit about until four. this is a good thing. i have other things i'd rather be doing anyway. important things like masturbating, playing games and making sure my dog doesn't poop on the carpet/furniture.
 
how did i miss The Last Kingdom?

anyone watch it? it was aired on BBC America yesterday, too.
i'd only glimpsed fighting vikings and wotnot as i channel hopped the last week, didn't even know it was on but i has some great opening reviews.

I have to go shopping for a new bowl. Dropped my glass one last night and it broke into two pieces. We were together for over ten years. I should invest in a pocket vape.
 
just make one yourself, lazy. a socket wrench, the screen from your sink and some form of tubing and your halfway there. get a two liter and a five gallon bucket and you don't even need the tubing because you got yourself a gravity bong, motherfucker.
 
the words are just so much prettier than the english translation which (in that posted here) seem to miss out so much about the sea's infinite ability to change and reflect etc..., etc..., etc.... :rolleyes:

Yeah, it isn't really a translation per se. The way I heard the story, everyone liked the tune but said "What do we do with these 'fluffy sheep, white birds and angels' ? Get me a lyricist from 52nd Street!"

I haven't used a gravity bong in years. I made a temporary one last night out of tin foil but it feels too ghetto. I'm too lazy to go beyond that.
 
me neither, but they are fun, damnit. you never get higher than you do off a gravity bong. of course, the threat of passing out is never fun. still, it's a good way to make weed last.

:eek:


Hopefully they are available near you. Head shops are few and far between.
