Okay, I searched a bit on French sites and found this translation. There is some poetic license but it is basically sound:

The sea
Dances beyond
The shores and lighted bays
With silver on its waves
The sea
Still glitters along
As the rain falls

The sea
Welcomes the sun
And fools
Billowing home
You’d think they’re angels, but no!
You see
It’s nothing but foam
That will soon go

Behold
By the lagoon
A wet blanket of reeds
Behold
Birds flying home
To those rusty “maisons”

The sea
Eternal nest
Of shores and lighted bays
So with a song of love
The sea
Will be my heart’s cove
Through eternity

You can find the side by side comparaison with the original French, this translation, and the English version here (scroll down to the post of 6/1/2004: Charles Trenet: La Mer en anglais

ETA line breaks and that I just noticed that the next post on that site also complains about "My Way".

Well, that definitly gives new meaning. Pretty much the polar opposite in tone to the English translation.

ETA: I'm rewatching now. I really want spoilers. Really bad. I've been so strong. I need help.

Cries.

It certainly helps us understand why Shannon was saying words like "glitter" and "infinity/eternal"

We used to swim in our jeans on hot days all the time. In the Virginia heat they would dry in 20 minutes and keep you cool while doing so.

Hmmm, and it's pretty darn humid in VA too.

Also, Cleolinda's recap is up.

It's horribly disgustingly humid, but if it's over 80 degrees, the wet jeans thing actually works.

I've never been comfortable in wet jeans, but it strikes me as easier to film, and one doesn't have to waste time on Kate being irritated or freaked out, when the point is to find the submerged couple and have light UST.

It's weird, then, that the ABC diary for Lost had the two of them snuggling weeks ago.

What was the title of this episode? It felt almost like a season opener: lots of setup, very little payoff. I was kind of let down by the revelation of what was in the case--I rather hope it turns out that there was something else in the safety-deposit box. I bought that she was genuinely upset and whacked out over it, but I wanted something more. (Though it's cool and nicely creepy that it was a toy airplane.) Also, Kate, sweetie, if you wanted the case that badly, why did you give it to Sawyer in the first place??? But I liked Jack's interactions with her in this ep, how he had her number from the first--and now, he's got the guns, too. And I was pleased to see more of Kate's stone-killer past.

Loved Shannon singing "Beyond the Sea", hated the potential for Shannon/Sayid. And I actually like Shannon's character, but I think a relationship between them would be too contrived.

And I thought Boone was right.

About what? Shannon's being useless?

CHARLIE, JE T'ADORE! And I really liked his scene with Rose at the end, especially because it ties in nicely with what we saw of his past (e.g. going to confession) in "The Moth".

The timing of the rising tide was indeed eerie.

I can't help but wonder if Boone's sense of worth depends heavily on Shannon playing the role of the incompetent, lesser sibling.

Ooh, Anne, I think you're onto something here. It would explain a lot about both characters.

I grump because I love.

Me too.

What was the title of this episode?

"Whatever The Case May Be"

if you wanted the case that badly, why did you give it to Sawyer in the first place??

this bugged us too. He didn't see it down there. Why not leave it and retrieve it when Sawyer's not around?
