De Nogent jusqu'a la mer

There's mist in your gray eyes, from Nogent to Paris
Slowly goes my barge, from Paris to Rouen
There's a dream in your green eyes, from Rouen to the sea
The sea where big ships can go
From Le Havre to the whole world

You wake up and you smile, from Nogent to Paris
I hug you gently, from Paris to Rouen
This is 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 again, from Paris to Rouen
We said so many bitter words to each other, from Rouen to the sea
The sea where so many strangers can take you
From Le Havre to the whole world

In the mist, there are your gray eyes that fade slowly
And I return sadly, from the sea to Nogent
