CORTÈGE DE NOCE

La mariée avance en tête,
Baissant les yeux levant la tête,
Le ménestrier s'en va devant,
Adieu la joie et le bon temps !

Aux filles du roi elle ressemble,
Elle a couronne sur sa tête,
Ne l'aura qu'une heure tant seulement,
Adieu la joie et le bon temps !

Tout en passant sous cette porte,
Elle reçoit un beau pain d'orge,
Mais à votre époux présentez-en,
Adieu la joie et le bon temps !

En traversant cette prairie,
Elle voit danser des jeunes filles,
Ah si j'étais fille à marier,
J'aurais encore cœur à chanter !

Belle épousée on vous demande
D'être bien sage, obéissante
Et dans la maison où vous allez,
Tâchez de bien nous contenter !

Adieu cousins, adieu cousines,
Adieu voisins, adieu voisines,
Adieu à tous les gens de chez nous,
Adieu les plus beaux de mes jours !
WEDDING CORTEGE/PROCESSION

The bride goes ahead,
Lowering her eyes raising her head,
The musician goes ahead,
Farewell joy and good times!

She looks like the king's daughters,
She has a crown on her head,
Will only have it for an hour,
Farewell joy and good times!

While passing under this door,
She receives a beautiful barley loaf,
But present some to your husband,
Farewell joy and good times!

Crossing this meadow,
She sees young girls dancing,
Ah if I were a girl to marry,
I would still have the heart to sing!

Beautiful bride we request from you
To be very good/well-behaved and obedient
And in the house where you are going
Try hard/make sure to please us well/to give us satisfaction!

Farewell (male) cousins, farewell (female) cousins,
Farewell (male) neighbors, farewell (female) neighbors,
Farewell to all the people of our area,
Farewell to the most beautiful of days!
Recording by Malicorne
