	LA BARQUE DU PECHEUR. French Version. Seul dans sa nacelle Au declin du jour, Le pecheur ftdele Chante son amour. Mais les vents barbares Rompent les amarres, Et l'onde en fureur Roule la barque du pecheur ; Et 1'onde en fureur Roule la barque du pecheur. En voyant ses rames Sur des boros cheris, Aux fracas des lames II mele ses cris, Pleurant sa chaumiere, 11 songe a sa mere ; Mais l'onde en fureur Roule la barque du pecheur. Sur la mer profonde Trois nuits et trois jours, La mer vagabonde Roule sans secours.	THE FISHERMAN'S BARK. English Version. Alone in his skiff, At the close of day, The faithful fisherman Sings of his love. But the barbarous winds Cut his moorings, And the fury of the wave Rocks the fisherman's bark ; And the fury of the wave Rocks the fisherman's bark. In seeing his oars On the crested wave, With the roar of the billows He blends his cries, Bewailing his hut, He thinks of his mother ; But the fury of the wave Rocks the fisherman's bark. On the deep sea Three days and three nights, On the roving sea He rocks without help.
