Lyrics of Tu t'appelles Marguerite - Lynda Lemay

Tu t'appelles Marguerite (original)

Tu t’appelles marguerite
J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face
Quand on etait petites
Tu etais la plus jolie de la classe
On revenais d’l’ecole?
Bicyclette
On s’planquait dans l’sous-sol pour s’faire en cachette
Nos petites confidences de fillettes
Tu t’appelles marguerite
J’ai nos 23 juin au fond du coeur
On vidait nos pupitres
On faussait un «adieu m’sieur l’professeur»
Puis on courait se mettre en maillots d’bain
On plantais l’arrosoir au bord du jardin
Pour rire sous les gouttelettes
Puis enfin
On regardait de loin
Le soleil se coucher
On riait un peu moins
On etait fatigu?
Es On disait: «regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter»
On a la jeunesse et la chance
D’avoir une bonne amie d’enfance
L’enfance a pris la fuite
La revolte t’a frap?
E de plein fouet
Aurais-tu eu trop vite
Onze ans et plus de courbes qu’il n’en fallait
Tes parents dormaient sur leurs deux oeilleres
Are?
Vant d’une honorable belle carri?
Re Pour toi la tendre chair de leur chair
Tes are?
Ves etaient precis
T’avais ta libert??
Conquerir
Tu avais tant flauri
Tu sentais le bon coeur pret a cueillir
Les gar?
Ons se ruaient sur tes rondeurs
Et j’en ai vu plus d’un de tirer des pleurs
Mais on riait sous tes gouttelettes puis enfin
Puis un beau soir t’as fait ta valise
T’as dit: «je suis pr?
te»
On s’est promis toutes sortes de b?
Tises
En riant sous des tonnes de gouttelettes
On a r’gard?
De loin
Le soleil se coucher
On riait un peu moin
On etait fatigu?
Es On a dit: «regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter»
Et tu es partie dans l’silence
Ma bonne et seule amie d’enfance
Tu t’appelle marguerite
J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face
T’as la chambre 108
T’es toujours la plus jolie de la place
T’as eu quelques maries et trois enfants
Sui viendront p’t-?
Tre a paques ou au jour de l’an
Mais t’as moins de visite
Depuis qu’ta memoire a foutu le camp
Quand le hasard a j’t?
Nos vieux corps
Dans l’m?
Me corridor
J’ai senti monter sous mas lunettes
Comme une petite mar?
E de gouttelettes
On regardera encore
Le soleil se coucher
Et si jamais tu t’endors
Si t’es trop fatigu?
E
J’te dirai: «regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter»
Mais tant qu’tu pars pas dans l’silence
J’vais t’rem?
Morer ton enfance
Tu t’appelles marguerite
J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face
Quand on etait petites tu etais la plus jolie de la classe

(translation)

your name is daisy
I still call you the neighbor opposite
When we were little
You were the prettiest in the class
We were coming home from school?
Bicycle
We were hiding in the basement to do it on the sly
Our little girl secrets
your name is daisy
I have our June 23 at the bottom of my heart
We emptied our desks
We faked a "goodbye Mr. Professor"
Then we ran to get into bathing suits
We planted the watering can at the edge of the garden
To laugh under the droplets
And finally
We watched from afar
The sun go down
We laughed a little less
Were we tired?
Es We said, "Look good
The sky is all pink?
It will be sunny tomorrow
Will have to take advantage of it"
We have youth and luck
To have a good childhood friend
Childhood ran away
Revolt hit you?
E full force
Would you have had too quickly
Eleven years and more curves than needed
Your parents slept on their blinders
Are?
Vant of an honorable beautiful carri?
Re For you the tender flesh of their flesh
Your are?
You were precise
Did you have your freedom??
To conquer
You had bloomed so much
You felt the good heart ready to pick
Guys?
We were rushing on your curves
And I've seen more than one draw tears
But we laughed under your droplets then finally
Then one fine evening you packed your bags
You said, "I'm pr?
you"
We promised each other all kinds of b?
Teas
Laughing under tons of droplets
Are we looking?
From afar
The sun go down
We laughed a little less
Were we tired?
We said, "Look good
The sky is all pink?
It will be sunny tomorrow
Will have to take advantage of it"
And you left in silence
My good and only childhood friend
your name is daisy
I still call you the neighbor opposite
You got room 108
You're still the prettiest in the place
You had a few brides and three children
Sui will come p’t-?
Every Easter or New Year's Day
But you have fewer visitors
Since your memory ran out
When chance has I?
our old bodies
In the m?
My corridor
I felt rising under my glasses
Like a little mar?
E of droplets
We will watch again
The sun go down
And if you ever fall asleep
If you're too tired?
E
I will say to you: “look closely
The sky is all pink?
It will be sunny tomorrow
Will have to take advantage of it"
But as long as you don't leave in silence
Am I going to remind you?
Lose your childhood
your name is daisy
I still call you the neighbor opposite
When we were little you were the prettiest in the class
