Mariage

Six o'clock, Trinity Square
When the gunshot rang out
Right in front of the little café
The lady who shot
Looked on in surprise
At the man in gray who had fallen

They added a number
To the office register
At the police station
The lady, she won’t say a word
And when the judge gets tired
She chats about her past...
To think it all started
At the same time as a summer sun
That seemed made to last
And the sun had settled
On a young man in dark gray
Who looked like he was meant to dance
So, of course, she waltzed
And then kissed him
It doesn’t take much to fall in love

They added a number
To the office register
At the town hall of the fourteenth
Then everything becomes wonderful
In beautiful dreams, nothing's better
The lady closes her eyes
She sees again, she sees again
The only day in her life, I believe
When she made the sign of the cross
Because everything was miraculous
The church sang just for them
And even the poor man was happy
It’s love that made his rounds
And from up high, ringing loud
The bells cried: "Long live the bride!"

Ring, ring, chime away!
If he swore fidelity,
He lied, the beloved one
Ring, ring, chime away!
He swore fidelity
He lied, the beloved one...
Chime away!...
