Marjolaine, cover Zachary Richard

[Jean Pierre]

it is a song extracted from the 1996 record "Cap Enragé".
A record I like very much, I did covers of "Lac Bijou" and "Dans le Nord Canadien", from the same record.

the lyrics traduction

Marjoram, this night, the moon is hidden
In the shadows, we must go away
I'll be waiting for you, my pretty one.
Along the bayou after midnight
Marjolaine, I have your life in mine
Before the day comes
Gotta run away, my pretty one
Gotta run away, my pretty one
Far from here
Forget the bad days
No returns and no regrets
I'll give you what I promised you
Far from here
A shelter for our love
No regrets and no returns
Gotta run away, my pretty one
Gotta run away, my pretty one
Marjoram, I feel the storm rising
The wind cries in the oak tree
They will never forgive me
Gotta run away, my pretty one

French lyrics
Marjolaine, cette nuit, la lune est cachée
Dans l'ombre, faut s'en aller
J't'attendrai, ma jolie
L'long du bayou après minuit
Marjolaine, j'ai ta vie dans la mienne
Avant que le jour ne vienne
Faut se sauver, ma jolie
Faut se sauver, ma jolie
Loin d'ici
Oublier les jours mauvais
Sans retour et sans regrets
J'te donnerais ce que j't'ai promis
Loin d'ici
Un abri pour notre amour
Sans regrets et sans retour
Faut se sauver, ma jolie
Faut se sauver, ma jolie
Marjolaine, je sens la tempête se lever
Le vent crie dans le chênier
Ils ne me pardonneront jamais
Faut se sauver, ma jolie
