La Méditerranée
Nana Mouskouri · Other Songs - Nana Mouskouri
L'écho de leurs colères de leurs tempêtes
Patiente la Méditerranée espêre
Elle a la voix le charme des sirèns
La foi des galériens et des poètes
Elle chante l'amour la liberté la terre qui saigne
La mer qui nous sépare nous rassemble
La guerre a beau planter sa nuit barbare
Toujours le jour de l'olivier se prépare
Elle est l'enfant des larmes de nos pères
L'écho de leurs colères de leurs tempêtes
Patiente la Méditerranée espêre
