Le Mariage [English translation]

The sun illuminates us

It's blue up on the hill

The boys are looking glum

The maiden is getting married

In her beautiful white dress

She sways her hips a bit

Her virtue is already swinging1

Into the arms of her young lover

On their knees before the priest

They're now only a single being

From this moment on

They have all the rights given by God and the king

The young groom moves forward

He gives a bow

He unties the white dress

He reveals the white bosom

And the old women of the village

Who are there in accordance with custom

Are already crossing themselves:

The princess will know joy

The sun kills us

It's white up on the hill

By scratching her chest2

The maiden is getting married

We see her become a woman

In her body and in her soul

The whole crowd applauds her:

Hallelujah, hallelujah

We don't have any shame here

About loving each other in front of the world

The pleasure of loving

Has only ever upset the spurned

May love guide them

And follow them from page to page

Throughout the whole picture book

That I drew for you

For you, for you

For you
