Lyrics and translation The Tiger Lillies - Mary

Mary

Mary's in the back room,
She's more than I can afford,
Mary's going down,
Going down on the Lord.
Mary's had the bishop,
Mary's had the Pope,
And each one of them
Filled Mary with religious hope.

Yes, Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord)
Yeah, Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord).

Well, Mary's had an angel,
And Mary's had a saint,
And Mary had the Devil,
And he made her feel faint.
As each one of those
Mary she does grope,
Mary's always filled
With religious hope.

Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord) ...

Mary attends to all their holy needs,
And they all fill Mary
With their holy seed.
They're so generous
With their collection tins,
That Mary she feels purged
Of all her mortal sins.

Mary's going down on the Lord
(On the Lord) ...

Well, Mary's most regular,
He's a holy monk,
Mary swears that monk
Has got a reservoir of spunk.
She dresses for him
As a holy nun,
But always fakes it
When his kingdom comes.

Mary's going down on the Lord ...

Marie

Marie est dans la pièce arrière,
Elle coûte plus cher que ce que je peux me permettre,
Marie descend,
Elle descend sur le Seigneur.
Marie a eu l'évêque,
Marie a eu le Pape,
Et chacun d'eux
A rempli Marie d'espoir religieux.

Oui, Marie descend sur le Seigneur
(Sur le Seigneur)
Ouais, Marie descend sur le Seigneur
(Sur le Seigneur).

Eh bien, Marie a eu un ange,
Et Marie a eu un saint,
Et Marie a eu le Diable,
Et il l'a fait se sentir faible.
Comme chacun de ceux-là
Que Marie elle palpe,
Marie est toujours remplie
D'espoir religieux.

Marie descend sur le Seigneur
(Sur le Seigneur) ...

Marie s'occupe de tous leurs besoins saints,
Et ils remplissent tous Marie
De leur semence sainte.
Ils sont si généreux
Avec leurs boîtes de collecte,
Que Marie se sent purgée
De tous ses péchés mortels.

Marie descend sur le Seigneur
(Sur le Seigneur) ...

Eh bien, le plus régulier de Marie,
C'est un moine saint,
Marie jure que ce moine
A un réservoir de jus.
Elle s'habille pour lui
En religieuse,
Mais fait toujours semblant
Lorsque son royaume arrive.

Marie descend sur le Seigneur ...
