Translation of the song lyrics Maryvonne - Anne Sylvestre

Maryvonne (original)

Pleure, pleure, Maryvonne
Ton ami, je te l’ai pris
Ça n’a étonné personne
Le village en a bien ri
Ah !
Tu faisais bien ta fière
Quand il te donnait le bras
Pour la fête de Saint-Pierre
C’est à moi qu’il le donnera
Tu sais mieux que moi, je pense
Qu’il est bête autant que beau
Ça n’a guère d’importance
Car il lèche mes sabots
Pleure, pleure, Maryvonne
Ton ami, je te l’ai pris
Ça n’a étonné personne
Le village en a bien ri
Tu peux me traiter de garce
Je ne crains pas l’adjectif
Je ne te l’ai pris que parce
Qu’il était décoratif
Si j’en juge ses grimaces
Je l’ai bien entortillé
Que crois-tu donc que j’en fasse?
Ne suis pas fille à marier !
Pleure, pleure, Maryvonne
Ton ami, je te l’ai pris
Ça n’a étonné personne
Le village en a bien ri
Un autre avait fait promesse
De m’aimer, il a menti
Je lui rends la politesse
Faut en prendre ton parti
Celui-ci, il faut le dire
N’est bien sûr pas très malin
Mais on pourrait trouver pire
Tu me diras ça demain
Pleure, pleure, Maryvonne
Ton ami, je te l’ai pris
Ça n’a étonné personne
Le village en a bien ri
Ainsi va la farandole
Des amours que l’on dit vraies
Ne crois pas que je sois folle
J’ai raison, mais tu devrais
À ton tour, un peu cruelle
Jeter ton dévolu
Sur le beau gars sans cervelle
Qui de moi n’a pas voulu
Et pleure, pleure, Maryvonne
Ton ami, je te l’ai pris
Ça n’a étonné personne
Le village en a bien ri

Maryvonne (translation)

Cry, cry, Maryvonne
Your friend, I took it from you
It didn't surprise anyone
The village had a good laugh
Ah!
You were doing your proud
When he gave you his arm
For St. Peter's Day
He'll give it to me
You know better than me, I think
That he is as stupid as he is beautiful
It hardly matters
Because he licks my hooves
Cry, cry, Maryvonne
Your friend, I took it from you
It didn't surprise anyone
The village had a good laugh
You can call me a bitch
I don't fear the adjective
I only took it from you because
that it was decorative
If I judge his grimaces
I twisted it well
So what do you think I'll do with it?
Am not a bridegroom!
Cry, cry, Maryvonne
Your friend, I took it from you
It didn't surprise anyone
The village had a good laugh
Another had promised
To love me, he lied
I return the courtesy
Gotta take your side
This one, it has to be said
Of course not very smart
But we could do worse
You tell me tomorrow
Cry, cry, Maryvonne
Your friend, I took it from you
It didn't surprise anyone
The village had a good laugh
So goes the farandole
Loves that are said to be true
Don't think I'm crazy
I'm right, but you should
Your turn, a little cruel
Set your sights
On the handsome brainless guy
Which of me did not want
And cry, cry, Maryvonne
Your friend, I took it from you
It didn't surprise anyone
The village had a good laugh
