Martin Guerre Soundtrack lyrics
Louison \ Welcome Home lyrics Benoit Come along, a scarecrow shouldn't cry, Louison Come along, I'll dry your eyes, Louison There's a golden sun up in the sky, Louison There's a warm breezing blowing through the rye, Louison Look, Louison Ah, Louison We shall sit here all day as we've sat here before After we'll sit here some more All the world is shining in July, Louison But it's not as beautiful as my Louison (Arnaud arrives, wearing a long cloak) Arnaud Monsieur... (He touches Benoit on the arm, startling him) My name is Arnaud du Thil. I'm looking for a Madame Martin Guerre. I've been told she lives somewhere near here. Do you know where I can find her? Benoit D-don't move...d-don't move! Arnaud Who are you talking to? Benoit Louison! Arnaud Do you understand me, I'm looking for a wife Who hasn't seen her husband for all her married life I'm asking for your help, you must be quite a connoisseur (he points to Louison) If you know someone as beautiful as her Benoit In Artigat there's a lonely maid A lovely bride if he'd only stayed She is precious, she is frankincense and myrrh And only my Louison is as beautiful as her Both All the pleasures of the earth I'd give If I could keep those treasures in her eyes Staying here or fighting wars I know which I'd prefer If I knew someone as beautiful as her Arnaud So you know Madame Martin Guerre? (Benoit nods enthusiastically) Will you go and find her for me? (Benoit hesitates) Oh, don't worry about...Louison? I'll look after her. (Benoit runs off, looking for the villagers. Arnaud takes off his hat and lies on the ground.) Benoit Ther's a man looking for Bertrande! There's a man looking for Bertrande! Where's Bertrande? There's a man looking for Bertrande...where is Bertrande? Guillaume Who would think to come and see Bertrande? Villagers Who would think to come and see Bertrande? Who would need to come and see Bertrande? Who would want to come and see Bertrande? Who would even know about Bertrande? (The villagers laugh at the idea. Then, a hush falls over them) Oh my God! Is it possible it's him? Oh my God! Could it me the answer to our prayers? Guillaume Oh my God! Is it who I'm thinking of? Celestine Think what it would mean Ernestine Is it really true? Hortense Please make it clear Villagers God has shown his love for Artigat now Martin's here! Surely they will have a child soon And give us an heir If it is... Well, it must be, our own Martin Guerre! God, it's a miracle, at last a miracle (they cross themselves and kneel in thanks to God, except for Guillaume) Where did you leave Martin, where did you leave Martin? Benoit He's with Lll...llll...lll Villagers Louison!! (they run to where Arnaud is and stare at him) Could this really be the same man? I would hardly recognize him It's amazing how he's changed! It's remarkable how much he's changed! But you're still Martin Guerre! (Arnaud tries to say something. His cloak is removed.) Pierre Guerre It's so good to see you (welcome home) Promise you won't disappear Villagers Dead as far we knew! Welcome home Thank God you're here It's so good to see you Welcome home Promise you won't disappear Dead as far we knew! Welcome home Thank God you're here! Pierre No, not a word, boy, don't be downcast What's done is done, now it's all in the past Arnaud But I'm not... Pierre & Villagers (they point at him) No! Pierre I'm telling you, there's nothing to say What really matters is that you're here to stay! Guillaume But Pierre! Pierre & Villagers (they point at Guillaume) No! Pierre Don't give a thought to those that you've spurned We're just overjoyed our boy has returned! Come, the sun is sinking, welcome home Bring the fatted calf and beer Time we started drinking, welcome home Thank God you're here! (the villagers begin to dance around Arnaud) Villagers Come, the sun is sinking, welcome home Bring the fatted calf and beer Time we started drinking, welcome home Thank God you're here! (Father Dominc approaches Arnaud. Arnaud kneels before him and crosses himself.) Father Dominic Now the Lord, as our reward, has brought you here Hortense You cheeky devil You little tinker Father Dominic We would pray by night and day and year by year Celestine You cheeky monkey, you little stinker Mme de Rols How Bertrande's missed you The tears that we've shed Faithful and true, she's the virgin you knew As you'll see when you take her to bed (they blindfold Arnaud) Villagers Roast the meats Bake the bread Drown the village in wine Press the sheets Mend the bed Bless the marital shrine Pierre Now where's Bertrande? Three crones Pretty maiden found a husband Friend or foe? Pretty maiden couldn't find her love Where did he go? Pretty maiden with her mirror And her comb Pretty maiden will be prettier Now he's come home (Guillaume begins to dance, in challenge to Arnaud. The men join in, and Arnaud is able to join in the dance. Guillaume runs off.) Women God it's a miracle At last a miracle! Martin's alive again, Martin's alive again! (the women dance, and eventually the entire village is dancing) Three crones She's ripe for plucking, and ready for... I wish it was me! So do we... (they continue to dance) (Benoit arrives with Bertrande, who is also blindfolded. Bertrande and Arnaud face each other and take hands. They dance, and Bertrande gives him a litle kiss. They take off their blindfolds and stand starting at each other. The villagers dance around them.) Villagers Welcome home Our long lost son We will forgive you whatever you've done! Welcome home Our long lost son We will forgive you whatever you've done! Welcome home! (Arnaud and Bertrande are separated and caught up with the villagers. Ernestine takes Bertrande by the hand and draws her to Arnaud. The villagers leave them alone.) Bertrande You're not Martin...are you. Arnaud (he covers his face with his hands) How can I tell you who I am when I'm not certain anymore? Please let me tell you what I know, I was a soldier in the war (Bertrande runs around the stage, stunned) I knew Martin, he was my friend He taught me how a life could be He showed me how a man could see Bertrande If this is true, why did you lie? And why did you call yourself Martin? Arnaud Your people said I was Martin even before they saw my face! I swear it's true! I didn't lie! Bertrande But did you try to tell the truth? Arnaud Madame, I swear I tried, they would not let me speak They welcomed me with open arms And I've never known such love, the love they showed to their Martin Bertrande But they hated him! They made him leave me! Arnaud Bertrande, I have to tell you... Bertrande Do you know where he is? Arnaud That day we watched the morning sunrise Their stealth, their speed took us by surprise He stood his ground, he fought to the end He saved my life, he died for his friend Bertrande Is this just one more lie? Arnaud No, I saw Martin die! I saw Martin die! (Bertrande falls to her knees. Arnaud tries to touch her, but she pulls her arm away from him.) When he spoke of Bertrande, he was full of regret for the way he behaved For the suffering he'd caused In that morning light he spoke with hope that he'd come back and she'd still be there Now I'm here, and I'm too ashamed to say (He gets on his knees next her. She turns to leave, but stops.) That I feel the same hope he felt that day Other Martin Guerre Soundtrack lyrics: Prologue lyrics Pray for the Day lyrics Working on the Land lyrics Where's the Child? lyrics The Rejection lyrics Martin Guerre lyrics Here Comes the Morning lyrics Sleeping on our Own lyrics Duty lyrics When Will Someone Hear? lyrics Tell Me To Go lyrics The Seasons lyrics Louison lyrics All I Know lyrics Bethlehem lyrics The Dinner lyrics One By One lyrics The Courtroom lyrics Me lyrics Someone lyrics The Imposters lyrics The Last Witness lyrics The Sentence lyrics I Will Make You Proud lyrics The Madness lyrics The Jail lyrics The Reckoning lyrics The Land of the Fathers lyrics |
