Trenet wrote the lyrics of "La Mer" on the train in 1943 while travelling along the French Mediterranean coast, returning from Paris to Narbonne, supposedly in ten minutes, on toilet paper supplied by SNCF. He was assisted with the tune by Leo Chauliac. It was originally published by Raoul Breton. It was not until 1946 that Trenet recorded the song. English lyrics, unrelated to the French lyrics, were written by Jack Lawrence and entitled "Beyond the Sea". This became a hit for Bobby Darin in 1960, and the song has since been recorded by more than 400 other artists in many languages.
Somewhere beyond the sea Somewhere beyond the sea It's far beyond the stars We'll meet beyond the shore I know beyond a doubt no more sailin'
