Paroles et traduction Lynda Lemay - Tu t'appelles Marguerite

Tu t'appelles Marguerite

Tu t'appelles marguerite
J't'appelle encore la voisine d'en face
Quand on etait petites
Tu etais la plus jolie de la classe
On revenais d'l'ecole? bicyclette
On s'planquait dans l'sous-sol pour s'faire en cachette
Nos petites confidences de fillettes
Tu t'appelles marguerite
J'ai nos 23 juin au fond du coeur
On vidait nos pupitres
On faussait un "adieu m'sieur l'professeur"
Puis on courait se mettre en maillots d'bain
On plantais l'arrosoir au bord du jardin
Pour rire sous les gouttelettes
Puis enfin

(REFRAIN):
On regardait de loin
Le soleil se coucher
On riait un peu moins
On etait fatigu? es
On disait: "regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter"
On a la jeunesse et la chance
D'avoir une bonne amie d'enfance

L'enfance a pris la fuite
La revolte t'a frap? e de plein fouet
Aurais-tu eu trop vite
Onze ans et plus de courbes qu'il n'en fallait
Tes parents dormaient sur leurs deux oeilleres
R? vant d'une honorable belle carri? re
Pour toi la tendre chair de leur chair
Tes r? ves etaient precis
T'avais ta libert? conquerir
Tu avais tant flauri
Tu sentais le bon coeur pret a cueillir
Les gar? ons se ruaient sur tes rondeurs
Et j'en ai vu plus d'un de tirer des pleurs
Mais on riait sous tes gouttelettes puis enfin

(REFRAIN)

Puis un beau soir t'as fait ta valise
T'as dit: "je suis pr? te"
On s'est promis toutes sortes de b? tises
En riant sous des tonnes de gouttelettes

On a r'gard? de loin
Le soleil se coucher
On riait un peu moin
On etait fatigu? es
On a dit: "regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter"
Et tu es partie dans l'silence
Ma bonne et seule amie d'enfance

Tu t'appelle marguerite
J't'appelle encore la voisine d'en face
T'as la chambre 108
T'es toujours la plus jolie de la place
T'as eu quelques maries et trois enfants
Sui viendront p't-? tre a paques ou au jour de l'an
Mais t'as moins de visite
Depuis qu'ta memoire a foutu le camp
Quand le hasard a j't? nos vieux corps
Dans l'm? me corridor
J'ai senti monter sous mas lunettes
Comme une petite mar? e de gouttelettes

On regardera encore
Le soleil se coucher
Et si jamais tu t'endors
Si t'es trop fatigu? e
J'te dirai: "regarde bien
Le ciel est tout ros?
Il fera beau demain
Faudra en profiter"
Mais tant qu'tu pars pas dans l'silence
J'vais t'rem? morer ton enfance

Tu t'appelles marguerite
J't'appelle encore la voisine d'en face
Quand on etait petites tu etais la plus jolie de la classe

Your Name Is Margaret

Your name is Margaret
I still call you the girl across the street
When we were little
You were the prettiest in the class
Coming back from school on our bicycles
We'd hide in the basement to share secrets
Our little girlhood confidences
Your name is Margaret
I hold our 23rd of Junes deep in my heart
We'd empty our desks
Fake a "goodbye, mister teacher"
Then we'd run to put on our swimsuits
Plant the watering can at the edge of the garden
To laugh under the droplets
And finally

(CHORUS):
We'd watch from afar
The sun setting
We'd laugh a little less
We were tired
We'd say: "Look closely
The sky is all pink
It will be beautiful tomorrow
We have to enjoy it"
We have youth and the chance
To have a good childhood friend

Childhood fled
Rebellion hit you head-on
Could it be that you had too quickly
Eleven years and more curves than you needed
Your parents slept with blinders on
Dreaming of an honorable career for you
Their tender flesh and blood
Your dreams were precise
You had your freedom to conquer
You had bloomed so much
You smelled of a good heart ready to be picked
The boys rushed to your curves
And I saw more than one draw tears
But we laughed under your droplets, then finally

(CHORUS)

Then one fine evening you packed your suitcase
You said: "I'm ready"
We promised each other all sorts of crazy things
Laughing under tons of droplets

We watched from afar
The sun setting
We laughed a little less
We were tired
We said: "Look closely
The sky is all pink
It will be beautiful tomorrow
We have to enjoy it"
And you left in silence
My good and only childhood friend

Your name is Margaret
I still call you the girl across the street
You have room 108
You're still the prettiest in the place
You had a few husbands and three children
Who might come at Easter or New Year's
But you have fewer visits
Since your memory went away
When chance threw our old bodies
In the same corridor
I felt rising under my glasses
Like a little tide of droplets

We'll watch again
The sun setting
And if you ever fall asleep
If you're too tired
I'll tell you: "Look closely
The sky is all pink
It will be beautiful tomorrow
We have to enjoy it"
But as long as you don't leave in silence
I'll remind you of your childhood

Your name is Margaret
I still call you the girl across the street
When we were little, you were the prettiest in the class
