Song language: French
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 |
