Madeleine(original) |
| Debout sur un bac de misère |
| Allant au gré de la rivière |
| Dans la nuit, chante un vieux passeur |
| Il chante et rit autant qu’il pleure |
| Madeleine, Madeleine |
| Demain matin, il se marie |
| Et le bouquet qu’il a choisi |
| C’est Madeleine, la pécheresse |
| Qui l’a cueilli dans sa détresse |
| Madeleine, Madeleine |
| Tout le village s’est embarqué |
| Sur le radeau de la mariée |
| Les gens se moquent entre leurs dents |
| En regardant vêtue de blanc |
| Madeleine, Madeleine |
| Mais le radeau a chaviré |
| Il était vraiment trop chargé |
| Chevaux, amis, femme et carrosse |
| Tout s’est noyé le jour des noces |
| De Madeleine, de Madeleine |
| On a cherché la vérté |
| Mais elle aussi avait coulé |
| Il n’est resté qu’un vieux passeur |
| Pleurant l’amour, perdant l’honneur |
| Pour Madeleine, pour madeleine |
| (Merci à nadine pour cettes paroles) |
| (translation) |
| Standing on a misery bin |
| Going down the river |
| In the night sings an old ferryman |
| He sings and laughs as much as he cries |
| Magdalene, Magdalene |
| Tomorrow morning he is getting married |
| And the bouquet he chose |
| It's Madeleine, the sinner |
| Who picked him up in his distress |
| Magdalene, Magdalene |
| The whole village got on board |
| On the bride's raft |
| People laugh between their teeth |
| Looking on dressed in white |
| Magdalene, Magdalene |
| But the raft capsized |
| It was really too busy |
| Horses, friends, wife and carriage |
| It all drowned on the wedding day |
| From Madeleine, from Madeleine |
| We searched for the truth |
| But she too had sunk |
| Only an old smuggler remained |
| Crying for love, losing honor |
| For Madeleine, for Madeleine |
| (Thanks to nadine for these lyrics) |
