Below is a translation of Krim-Déjean's poem:
Our Sea
Eyes filthy and bulging
Hands clutching at the liquid void
Arms thrashing the water, hands seeking a lifeline
Mouth twisted in despair
Their bodies float in your bitter waters
Their mad journey marked by your murderous waves
Their fear, their screams—swallowed, strangled
Mare Nostrum, so admired, so venerated
Mare Nostrum, never sated
Mare Nostrum, burial ground for the hopes of
The wretched of the earth
