Le Mariage insolite de Marie la Bretonne [English translation]

She took off her apron

To put on a marriage gown

She hid her hands in gloves

And her feet in white slippers

She looked at herself in the mirror

And she thought she was beautiful

Then she stepped down the stairs singing

Offering her smiles to the springtime

To the great trees, to the flowers and to the birds

She sat down near the pond

Watching and admiring herself

In the water

It was when she wanted to get back up

That she saw a young man approach

He seemed to come from the deep of the water

All drenched, she found him beautiful

And she understood by the look he gave her

That he found her beautiful

And her body did not resist

And love grew wide inside her

And at the castle, the bell rang

It was then that the stranger

Went lost, disappeared

Into the water

She went back up to the attic

And back into the wicker case she put

The gown, the slippers and the gloves

Putting her white apron back on

To prepare the evening meal

Do the dishes
