On the path to Notre-Dame
There was Jean the Spaniard
Who went to save his soul
To offer a candle to the Madonna
Jean the Spaniard shouldn't have
Stolen the hangman's rope
My Lady the Virgin Mary
If I've stolen, if I've lied
Forgive me, I beg you
I have already suffered so much
Don't send me to hell
On the path was a girl
Who was going very quiety
It's crazy that the sun shines
On a diamond ring
Jean the Spaniard, you shouldn't have
Touched forbidden things
My Lady the Virgin Mary
If I've stolen, if I've lied
Forgive me, I beg you
I have already suffered so much
Don't send me to hell
On the path to Notre-Dame
There was Jean the Spaniard
Who walked between two policemen
Leg irons, a hemp collar
You the Spaniard, you shouldn't have
It's you who will be the hanged man
My Lady the Virgin Mary
If I've stolen, if I've lied
Forgive me, I beg you
But if heaven is open
Don't send me to hell
