Monique Lyr Add: Les filles des forges (7) RE: Lyr Add: Les filles des forges 22 Nov 20


Here is the 1st version at the 1st link. You can see it in the original book with the sheet music on this page. The tune is quite different from Tri Yann's.

Ce sont les filles des forges (bis)
Des forges de Paimpont
Falaridon, falaridaine.
Des forges de Paimpont
Falaridaine, falaridon !

Qui s’en fur’nt à confesse (bis)
Au curé de Beignon...

En entrant dans l’église (bis)
Ont demandé pardon...

— Qu’avez-vous fait les filles (bis)
Pour demander pardon ?...

— J’avons couru les danses (bis)
En habit de garçon...

— Vous aviez des culottes (bis)
Dessous vos blancs jupons...

— J’avions ben des culottes, (bis)
Mais point de cotillons...

— Allez-vous-en les filles, (bis)
Pour vous point de pardon...

Il faut aller à Rome (bis)
Chercher l’absolution...

— Si je l’avons ben à Rome, (bis)
J’l’aurons ben à Beignon...

Translation (from Google translate, slightly edited)

These are the girls from the forges (x2)
From the forges of Paimpont
Falaridon, falaridaine.
From the forges of Paimpont
Falaridaine, falaridon!

Who went to confess (x2)
To the priest of Beignon...

When they entered the church (x2)
[They] asked for forgiveness.

- What have you done girls (x2)
To ask for forgiveness?...

- I roamed the dances (x2)
In boy's clothes...

- You had breeches(x2)
Underneath your white petticoats...

- I had breeches, (x2)
But no petticoats...

- Go away girls, (x2)
For you no forgiveness...

You have to go to Rome (x2)
To seek absolution...

- If I have it in Rome, (x2)
I'll have it in Beignon...
