Aux filles de l'eau [English translation]

To those girls who have scales

Of your nets,

They rip up the knitting

They who, wherever they may go,

Fully throw themselves into the battle

To the girls of the waters

Who sail their ships

Who have the audacity

The grace that makes one jealous

But who, tenaciously,

Have the ambition of changing everything

To the girls of the water

Who win their ships

During the day they defy the waves

That assail them

During the night they lead their boats

Fearlessly, flawlessly

Bending, but perfectly

Strong and vulnerable

To you, sinners,

Where, then, do you find the wisdom,

When they hurt you,

To conceal your sadness?

To the girls of the waters

Who make their ships shine
