Re: lyrics to valse de marais bouleur

La Valse de Marie Buller (or La Valse de Marais Bouleur) by Cleoma FALCON.

Tu m’as pris dans les bras d’mon papa et d’ma maman,
Tu m’as promis
De m’soigner comme l’enfant d’la maison.
Et c’est toi t’après m’quitter moi toute seule.

Mon Dieu sais, y’a pas juste toi dans l’pays,
Mais y’a juste toi mon ‘tit cœur désirait d’avoir.
Pourquoi donc écouter tous les conseils,
Tous les conseils de les autres ?
Mon Dieu sais, j’mérite pas, mais tout ça t’après m’faire.

Tu voudrais t’en rev’nir avec moi,
J’te pardonnerais pour tout ça tu m’as fait.
Mon Dieu sais, y’a pas juste toi dans l’pays,
Mais y’a juste toi mon ‘tit cœur désirait d’avoir.

Ecoute pas tous les conseils,
C’est juste toi, moi j’voudrais avec moi.

Is it the same lyrics ?

Marc.

You took me from the arms of my papa and mama
You promised me
To take care of me like a child at home
And you’re leaving me all alone

My god, there’s not just you in the world
But it’s just you that my heart desires to have
Why you listen to all the advice
All the advice of others
My god, I don’t deserve all that you’re doing

You want to return with me
I forgive you for all you did to me
My god, there’s not just oyu in the world
But, it’s just you me heart desires to have

Don’t listen to all the advice
It’s just you I want with me

what a great song. the version i am listening to, next to cleoma's version, is harry trahan, lisa reed singing and mitch reed on fiddle. wow, what a wonderful old song. these old waltzes have such wisdom.
thanks for posting the translation.
