Moi je veux voir 02:13
Derrière les nuages 02:16
De nouveaux rivages 02:18
L'horizon où la mer touche le ciel 02:19

[English]
The blue of the sky is not the blue of the sea
This blue is the one I prefer
Without really knowing why
I would love to stay true to my land
Forget the fleeting wind
I have tried so many times
I may say "I stay, I won't leave"
Each of my gestures, each of my steps
Brings me back endlessly
Despite the promises
To this light blue
The horizon where the sea meets the sky
And calls me
Hides a treasure
That everyone ignores
It's the wind, gently, that rises
And reveals to me
The blue of the water
If I leave, I will go further and always higher
You must love my island and its history
For those who still want to believe
Forget the passing time
You must love my island and its history
And still keep hope
One day I will find my place
I can guide them
Make them greater
Accompany them
I will take the time
And this hidden voice
Thinks quite differently
I do not understand
The sun comes to dance on the eternal sea
But everyone ignores
These golden reflections
It waits for me under a carpet of light
The sea calls me
I want to see
Behind the clouds
New shores
The horizon where the sea meets the sky
And calls me
Hides a treasure
That everyone ignores
It's the wind gently that rises
And reveals to me
I have the right
To go there
