Marjolaine

(F.Lemarque / R.Revil)

English lyrics by Nick Golovko

An empty street,

a veil of fog

A string to ring,

a man to walk

To walk and sing

a merry song

To come and bring

two friends to sing along

Marjolaine, you are so bright

Marjolaine, spring was at its height

Marjolaine, I was at war

Today I’m back and knocking on your door

She had once said,

“I’ll wait for you”

And he had said,

“I’ll come, be sure”

Away he went,

still just a child

Now here he stands,

quite full of manly might

Marjolaine, you are so bright

Marjolaine, I had never lied

Marjolaine, I was at war

Today I’m back and knocking on your door

So he was gone

for a decade

But this decade

has changed his fate

No thing reminds

of what he knew

Apart from skies

that still are high and blue

Marjolaine, you are so bright

Marjolaine, spring has now died

Marjolaine, I know full well

If love was lost, it never lives again

Unknown man

let his song stop

He’s faded and

was lost in fog

The other two

were gone as well

And their tune

was carried back with them

Marjolaine, you are so bright

Marjolaine, spring was at its height

Marjolaine, I was at war

Today I’m back and knocking on your door
