Monique Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English (396* d) RE: Lyr Add: Mudcat singaround songs NOT in English 12 Apr 22


On March 21st I sang...
À LANDRY, PETIT VILLAGE (French -Savoie)
(Traditional from Savoy)

À Landry, petit village, y' a des fill's à marier (x2)
Y a des fill's à marier dans la misère
Qui voudraient s'y marier mais comment faire ?

Ô ma mère, ma bonne mère, mes beaux jours s'en vont courant (x2)
Mes beaux jours s'en vont courant c'est bien dommage
Sans avoir aucun amant dans le village

Ô ma fille prends patience, les amants ne manquent pas (x2)
Les amants ne manquent pas dans le village
Qui viendront te demander en mariage

Ô ma mère, ma bonne mère, par quel chemin passeront-ils ? (x2)
Les chemins sont si étroits et si rebelles
Qu'ils se casseront le nez et la cervelle

Les fill's se sont rassemblées, à la ville ell's sont allées (x2)
Ell's ont ach'té des rubans et des dentelles
Aussi des mouchoirs à la mode nouvelle

À Landry, petit village, y' a des fill's à marier (x2)
Y a des fill's à marier dans la misère
Qui voulaient s'y marier, c'est dur à faire.
IN LANDRY, A SMALL VILLAGE


In Landry, a small village, there are marriageable girls (x2)
There are marriageable girls in poverty
Who would like to get married but how to do so?

O my mother, my good mother, my fine days are running out (x2)
My fine days are running out, it's a shame
Without having any lover in the village

O my daughter be patient, lovers abound (x2)
There is no shortage of lovers in the village
Who will come to propose to you.

O my mother, my good mother, by which way will they pass? (x2)
The paths are so narrow and so dangerous
That they will break their noses and their brains

The girls gathered, they went to town (x2)
They bought ribbons and laces
Also new fashion handkerchiefs

In Landry, a small village, there are marriageable girls (x2)
There are marriageable girls in poverty
Who wanted to get married there, it's hard to achieve!
