What are the words for the song La Mer by Charles Trenet?

User Avatar

Asked by Kerville

The Sea How it dances brightly

With its silver reflection in the bay

The Sea

Its reflection changes in the rain

The Sea

The summer sky mixes

With the white horses

To be in pure heaven

The Sea

Shepherdess of a blue infinity

Look

Close to the pond

The great soaking wet reeds

Look

The white birds

And the rust coloured houses

The Sea

It rocks and dances in the bay

And sings of love

The Sea

Fills my heart with life

How do you not get nervous before an instrument solo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Take slow deep breaths in, then let out slowly. Think of the applause you'll get! No matter what instrument; Trumpet, piano, violin, even vocals, It's nearly impossible to not be nervous at all. For one thing, think of playing it perfectly, and not how you could mess up. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, Get a good rest in before the performance, or a really good night's sleep, trust me, it makes a HUGE difference!
