Lyrics of Aux marches du palais - Guy Beart

Aux marches du palais (original)

Y’a une tant belle fille, lon la
Y’a une tant belle fille
Elle a tant d’amoureux (bis)
Qu’elle ne sait lequel prendre, lon la
Qu’elle ne sait lequel prendre
C’est un p’tit cordonnier (bis)
Qui a eu la préférence, lon la
Qui a eu la préférence
Et c’est en la chaussant (bis)
Qu’il en fit la demande, lon la
Qu’il en fit la demande
La belle si tu voulais (bis)
Nous dormirions ensemble, lon la
Nous dormirions ensemble
Dans un grand lit carré (bis)
Couvert de toile blanche, lon la
Couvert de toile blanche
Aux quatre coins du lit (bis)
Un bouquet de pervenches, lon la
Un bouquet de pervenches
Dans le mitan du lit (bis)
La rivière est profonde, lon la
La rivière est profonde
Tous les chevaux du roi (bis)
Pourraient y boire ensemble, lon la
Pourraient y boire ensemble
Et nous y dormirions (bis)
Jusqu'à la fin du monde, lon la
Jusqu'à la fin du monde

(translation)

There's such a beautiful girl, lon la
There is such a beautiful girl
She has so many lovers (twice)
That she doesn't know which one to take, lon la
That she doesn't know which one to take
He's a little shoemaker (twice)
Who had the preference, lon la
Who had the preference
And it's by putting it on (twice)
That he requested it, lon la
That he requested
Beauty if you wanted (repeat)
We would sleep together, lon la
We would sleep together
In a large square bed (twice)
Covered in white linen, lon la
Covered in white canvas
To the four corners of the bed (repeat)
A bouquet of periwinkles, lon la
A bouquet of periwinkles
In the middle of the bed (twice)
The river is deep, lon the
The river is deep
All the King's Horses (repeat)
Could drink there together, lon la
Could drink there together
And we would sleep there (twice)
Until the end of the world, lon la
Until the end of the world
