Barbara Allen Lyrics by Marie Laforêt

Concert aux Bouffes Parisiens - Septembre 2005

1998

(Introduction Barbara Allen)
In Scarlet Town il y avait une très jolie fille qui s'appelait Barbara Allen
William était arrivé, forcément, il l'avait aimée et puis il l'aimait tellement qu'il en est mort et puis elle en a été si triste qu'elle a voulu mourir aussi
In Scarlet Town, where he was born
There was a fair maid dwellin'
?
Her name was Barbara Allen
Twas in the merry month of May
When all the buds were swelling
Sweet William came from the west country
And he called it Barbara Allen
He sent his servant down to
The place where she was dwelling
My master's sick, that's why he calls for you
If your name is Barbara Allen
Well slowly, slowly she got up
And so slowly she went by him
And all she said when she passed his bed
Young man, I think you are a dyin
Oh yes I'm sick, I'm very sick
And death is in me dwellin'
No better, no better will I ever be
If I don't get Barbara Allen
Oh mother, oh mother, make my bed
And make it long and narrow
Sweet William died for me today
I'll die for him tomorrow
I'll die for him tomorrow
(Introduction Doina Din Maramures)
Cette chanson elle dit, elle dit mon amour est parti à la guerre, il est parti à la guerre, très loin, là-bas derrière les collines. Il y a le vent là-bas, le vent il fait woh. Et puis, et puis je sais pas comment lui parler à mon amour, alors je lui écrirai une lettre, je lui écrirai des mots, je lui écrirai tout moi et si Dieu veut mes paroles elle iront très loin , très loin derrière les collines, là-bas, derrière le vent
