Текст песни I'm Martin Guerre - Reprise - Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg

Look, I'm Martin Guerre
That's what I said
You thought me dead
When I arrived

Yes, I'm Martin Guerre
When I appeared
You danced and cheered
That I'd survived

Now you will see
A man can choose to be free
You all look for someone to blame
But I swear it aloud, I will be proud
That Martin Guerre is my name

I'm a Protestant, sir
This is true, I confess
I have lied for my faith
I've been tortured for less
And no one took the blame

I'm not here to judge your faith
But whether you've stolen a name

Look, I'm Martin Guerre
The Lord above
The Lord I love
Has kept me strong
Yes, I'm Martin Guerre
I'll stand my ground
For now I've found
Where I belong

Now you will see
A man can choose to be free
You all look for someone to blame
But I swear it aloud, I will be proud
That Martin Guerre is my name

But can't you see the Devil's eyes my Lord
Don't trust a man whose life is such a fraud
He stole our name and he abused a wife
Is it too much to ask, to take his life!
Let him live, he's the best of us
He's a witch and nothing more

Bless his soul
Yet he has no soul to bless
He has courage in his heart
We were tricked
He has courage in his soul
And if you want the truth
It's true, we all are Protestants like him

It's a court, not a church, I'm a judge, not a priest
All I want is the truth, to above all be fair
And your God-fearing fights have no place in this room
It is time that you speak now
Madame Bertrande Guerre

Madame, what is the truth?
