De Nogent jusqu'a la mer
Jean Ferrat
From Nogent to the Sea
There's mist in your gray eyes
From Nogent to Paris
Slowly goes my barge
From Paris to Rouen
There's dreams in your green eyes
From Rouen to the sea
The sea where big boats
Can sail away
From Le Havre to the whole world
You wake up and you smile
From Nogent to Paris
I gently embrace you
From Paris to Rouen
It's love that is offered to us
From Rouen to the sea
The sea where lovers
Can embark
From Le Havre to the whole world
There's boredom in your gray eyes
From Nogent to Paris
And nothing is the same as before
From Paris to Rouen
We've said so many bitter words
From Rouen to the sea
The sea where so many strangers
Can take you away
From Le Havre to the whole world
In the mist there's your gray eyes
Fading slowly
And I sadly return
From the sea to Nogent
