Lyrics and translation June Tabor - Will Ye Go to Flanders

Will Ye Go to Flanders

Veux-tu aller en Flandre ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon beau Mally-O ?

There we'll have ale and brandy

Là, on aura de la bière et du brandy

Sack and sugar-candy

Du vin et des bonbons

Oh, will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Oh, veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon beau Mally-O ?

There you'll see the plaidies swirlin'

Là, tu verras les tartans tourbillonner

And you'll hear the pipies skirlin'

Et tu entendras les cornemuses chanter

Oh, will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Oh, veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

Will ye go to Flanders, my bonny Mally-O?

Veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon beau Mally-O ?

There you'll hear the captain calling

Là, tu entendras le capitaine appeler

See the sergeant crawling

Tu verras le sergent ramper

And the soldiers, how they're falling, my Mally-O

Et les soldats, comme ils tombent, mon cher Mally-O

And will ye go to Flanders, my Mally-O?

Et veux-tu aller en Flandre, mon cher Mally-O ?

To see the bold commanders, my bonny Mally-O?

Pour voir les courageux commandants, mon beau Mally-O ?

There you'll see the bullets fly

Là, tu verras les balles voler

You'll hear the ladies cry

Tu entendras les dames pleurer

And the soldiers how they die, my Mally, O

Et les soldats, comme ils meurent, mon cher Mally-O
