Hello everyone

I remember a song that came on a top ten program in the 1983-85. The song or the performers have the word 'soleil' or a similar word. the song has been translated in the program and it talks about a man who drawned in the sea or the ocean. I think the lyrics ends in each line with the negative word 'pas' in French. Something like:

"ou wit you malo malo rit pas" or
le mer ne rit pas.

Thank you all
