"Beyond the Sea" is the English-language version of the French song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet, popularized by Bobby Darin in 1959. While the French original was an ode to the sea, Jack Lawrence – who composed the English lyrics – turned it into a love song.
The English-language version of "La mer" was first recorded by Harry James and His Orchestra in 1947. Its lyrics, telling the story of two lovers separated by the sea, were written by Jack Lawrence. It has since been recorded by many artists, including Bobby Darin, Stevie Wonder, Mantovani, [15] Roger Williams [15] and Gisele MacKenzie. [15]

One commentator above mentions that "Beyond the Sea" differs in style from the French original, but that is only true of Bobby Darin's cover: the 1940s recordings of Jack Lawrence's version by artists such as Harry James and Jack Owens have arrangements that are similar to that of Trenet, if lightly adapted to fit an American musical idiom.
