Lyrics for Charles Trenet's ';La Mer';--translate to English?

Any French-speakers able to give me an English translation of Trenet's beautiful chanson, ';La Mer';? (NOT looking for the American re-written version titled ';Beyond the Sea';





La mer


Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs


A des reflets d'argent


La mer


Des reflets changeants


Sous la pluie





La mer


Au ciel d'ete comfond


Ses blanc moutons


Avec les anges si purs


La mer bergere d'azur


Infinie





Voyez


Pres des etangs


Ces grand roseaux moillies


Voyez


Ces oiseaux blancs


Et ce maisons rouillees





La mer


Les a berces


Le long des golfes clairs


Et d'une chanson d'amour


La mer

Tried this once - didn't work. French is not my thing, but this translation is a start.





The sea


which one sees dancing along the clear gulfs (bays)


to gleams of silver.


The sea


Of changing reflections


Under the rain.





The sea


Confuses (confonde) the summer sky's sheep (fleece? cloud metaphor?)


With angels so pure,


The sea


Shepherd of blue infinity.





Look!


Next to the ponds


Those tall wet reeds.


Look!


Those white birds


And those rusty (? red) houses





The Sea


Has cradled them


Along the clear gulfs.


The Sea


Has cradled my heart for life.

and when the day arrives


I'll become the sky


and I'll become the sea





and the sea will come to kiss me


for I am going


home
