Lyrics and translation Joe Dassin - Marie-Madeleine

Marie-Madeleine

Marie-Madeleine, y′a pas si longtemps
Souviens-toi de tes amours
Je t'amusais bien, tu aimais l′argent
Et moi, je t'aimais tout court
Qu'est-ce qui t′a pris de tout laisser
De tout quitter pour un seul homme?
Un faux prophète, un illuminé
Un soi-disant roi sans couronne
Soi-disant roi de Galilée
Marie-Madeleine, y′a pas si longtemps
Quand tu n'étais pas fidèle
Tu étais à moi, mais qu′est-ce qu'il te prend?
On n′épouse pas le ciel
Tu n'as plus rien à espérer
Il a déjà un pied en terre
Oublie ce fou, il t′a trompée
Le Roi des Juifs ne peut rien faire
Le Roi des Juifs est condamné
Redeviens Marie-Madeleine
Ne va pas chercher si loin
Je n'ai plus rien, Marie-Madeleine
Revis, reviens!
C'est à moi que tu appartiens
Tu attends qui? Tu attends quoi?
Redescends sur Terre, j′ai besoin de toi
Marie-Madeleine, qui aurait cru
Qu′un jour on te verrait pleurer?
Mais qu'est-ce qu′il t'a fait? Qu′est-ce qu'il a de plus?
Il a dû t′ensorceler
Moi aussi, je sais pardonner
Et je sais faire des prières
Je suis venu te supplier
Qu'il vienne me jeter la pierre
Celui qui n'a jamais aimé
Redeviens Marie-Madeleine
Ne va pas chercher si loin
Je n′ai plus rien, Marie-Madeleine
Revis, reviens!
C′est à moi que tu appartiens
Tu attends qui? Tu attends quoi?
Redescends sur Terre, j'ai besoin de toi
Revis, reviens! C′est à moi que tu appartiens
Tu attends qui? Tu attends quoi?
Redescends sur Terre, j'ai besoin de toi
Revis, Marie-Madeleine
Reviens, Marie-Madeleine
Revis, Marie-Madeleine

Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene, not so long ago
Remember your past loves
I amused you well, you loved money
And I, I simply loved you
What made you leave everything
To leave everything for one man?
A false prophet, an enlightened one
A so-called king without a crown
The so-called King of Galilee
Mary Magdalene, not so long ago
When you weren't faithful
You were mine, but what's gotten into you?
One does not marry the sky
You have nothing left to hope for
He already has one foot in the grave
Forget this madman, he deceived you
The King of the Jews can do nothing
The King of the Jews is condemned
Become Mary Magdalene again
Don't look so far
I have nothing left, Mary Magdalene
Live again, come back!
You belong to me
Who are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
Come back down to Earth, I need you
Mary Magdalene, who would have thought
That one day we would see you cry?
But what did he do to you? What does he have that's more?
He must have bewitched you
I too know how to forgive
And I know how to pray
I came to beg you
Let him cast the first stone at me
He who has never loved
Become Mary Magdalene again
Don't look so far
I have nothing left, Mary Magdalene
Live again, come back!
You belong to me
Who are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
Come back down to Earth, I need you
Live again, come back! You belong to me
Who are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?
Come back down to Earth, I need you
Live again, Mary Magdalene
Come back, Mary Magdalene
Live again, Mary Magdalene
