She had everything to please
She fell under the spell
He left like the sea
She collapsed like a sandcastle

She had everything to please
She was the most beautiful of the sirens
She met this pirate one evening
Somewhere, in the ramparts of La Rochelle
Pretty sailor, she had her eyes fixed on the anchor
Tattooed on his arm
A few beers, some promises
And already the beauty throws herself into his sheets
He was very strong, she was in distress
He knew the far North, she was crossing the desert
In exchange for her weaknesses, he promised her a treasure
He told her, "you are my pearl, you are my soul"
He told her, "you are my salt, you are my sand
And when I can't move forward, you are my way
And if I am lost, you are my lighthouse"
Poor freshwater siren, she believed this river pirate
She drank his seawater words
He offered her a bouquet of poisonous anemones
He no longer wanted to play the role of the wonderful man
He engraved "I love you" on a pebble
Just before leaving
He left her in tears on the beach
And since then she's been waiting for the tidal wave

She had everything to please
She fell under the spell
He left like the sea
She collapsed like a sandcastle
She had everything to please
She fell under the spell
He left like the sea
She collapsed like a sandcastle
Sandcastle, sandcastle
She collapsed like a sandcastle
Sandcastle, sandcastle
She collapsed like a sandcastle

You should see her, paddling alone
She even distrusts her crew
And in the evening, when the storm comes
She closes up like a shell
She would do anything to hear him again
No one is waiting for her at the port anymore
She was queen one day, now she's in trouble
She hates love, it's worse than seasickness
She rushes through the fog, escapes her sadness
One more castaway, dozens of wrecks
Rocked by the sound of the wind, time and speed
Her boat seems too big without a captain
And often in the evening, she loses her mind
The stars don't hear her wishes
She stared at the horizon so much
That her eyes have turned blue
She sees herself writing their names in the sand
Prediction of a fleeting story
And in the evening when the low tide comes
She finds herself facing a pile of messages in bottles
And she copies his name in her logbook
She would have done anything to prevent him from leaving
She still hopes to find her treasure
But when he left, he tore up the map
Pretty siren, cursed by a pirate
Looking for a corsair to travel
But what she never told us
Is that she can't swim

She had everything to please
She fell under the spell
He left like the sea
She collapsed like a sandcastle
She had everything to please
She fell under the spell
He left like the sea
She collapsed like a sandcastle
Sandcastle, sandcastle
She collapsed like a sandcastle
Sandcastle, sandcastle
She collapsed like a sandcastle

The sea is vast, and it will carry her away
With time, my beauty, don't worry
The sea is vast, and it will carry her away
With time, my beauty, don't worry
The sea is vast, and it will carry her away
With time, my beauty, don't worry
