Actually, Rousseau's writing wasn't the Bobby Darin version of Beyond the Sea, but actually an older version called La Mer. It went like this:
La mer Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d'argent La mer Des reflets changeants Sous la pluie
La mer Au ciel d'été confond Ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs La mer bergère d'azur Infinie
Voyez Près des étangs Ces grands roseaux mouillés Voyez Ces oiseaux blancs Et ces maisons rouillées
La mer Les a bercés Le long des golfes clairs Et d'une chanson d'amour La mer A bercé mon coeur pour la vie
Someone in the TWoP forums posted it and the English translation. I think that's pretty cool - and Maggie Grace is a really good singer.
All in all, I thought it was a good episode, even if Kate's backstory is friggin' hard to understand. She orchestrates a bank robbery to get inside a safety deposit box that contains a toy airplace that belonged to the man she loved/killed. Why she would want the plane or why the plane was in the safety deposit box are never explained.
Also never explained: why Sawyer didn't take off his damn jeans when going swimming!

Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergère d'azur
Infinie
Voyez
Près des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouillés
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées
La mer
Les a bercés
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A bercé mon coeur pour la vie
