Bonjour,
I am looking for the title and the lyrics of the song that starts with the following words: "From afar, you can see the seagull flying around a black spot on blue, no one knows that she is searching for her lover.... chorus: fly my heart fly, the seagull took it from me, fly my heart fly the seagull took it from me..... thank you if you can help me.

Below is the exact and complete text from the collection "Garçon la note," editions du Scarabée.
Lyrics by Jean Riondet, music by Pierre-Guy Amiot.

The Seagull

From afar, you can see the seagull circling
Around a black spot on the blue.
No one knows that she’s watching
Her lover.
Chorus:
Fly, my heart fly,
The seagull has taken it from me.
Fly, my heart fly,
The seagull has taken it from me.
Chorus
At sea, who has the strange idea
Of being in love with a white bird?
If it’s not an angel,
It’s a child.
Chorus
Boy, when you were sleeping in Sète,
Under the bright sun on your nets,
She took your shuttle
And flew away.
Chorus
Since then, fishing is well over;
There are holes in your trawl.
When night falls cool,
You no longer laugh
Chorus.

Hello and thank you to those who worked on this research!
It's a very nostalgic song and I realize I’m not the only one to be moved by it, and this has been the case for nearly 50 years! Dozens of beautiful memories. It's a pity we can't listen to it. Maybe it's better this way, there would surely be tears!
Thank you a thousand times!!!

It's Jane, for me it's a childhood memory but I haven't found the exact lyrics yet... my father loved this song that he sang with a very gentle tone... memories, memories....

here's the only text I remember...
there are gaps between the two verses:

"in the distance you can see the seagull flying,
around a black dot in the blue,
no one knows that she’s watching her lover"

fly my heart, fly
the seagull took it from me
fly my heart, fly
the seagull took it from me
.
.
.
since then the seagull is long gone
'lilia there are holes in my fishing net
.
no one knows that she’s watching her lover"...

Hi. :-))

On this website, you'll find the lyrics, the title, and a sample of the song.
http://berangere28.free.fr/chansonsados.html#La_mouette

Unfortunately, the anchor doesn't work (the link that allows you to go directly to the song)
You'll have to search for the song on the page yourself.

It's the second to last one. ;-))

If you haven't found the lyrics, just look a few messages above. I posted the lyrics two years ago and they're still there ;-)
And we sing with just as much pleasure, 40 years later, this very nice song in three voices every time we get together with our old friends from our teenage years and camp counselors.

  Hello from Oise, I often had the chorus of this song in my head. I remember a bit of the melody from the last verse: "I learned this beautiful song at summer camp when I was between 10 and 14 years old. I'm so happy to have found it again. Thank you, hugs to fellow nostalgia lovers like me.

Hello, I am pleasantly surprised while reading these messages. This song has left its mark over many years. I am 65 years old, I used to sing this song to a small group of children at the Navarre paper mill camp in Jujurieux, where I worked as a supervisor. And while looking for the lyrics, I came across all your messages.
