Si tu veux... Marguerite

Fragson's song "Si tu veux... Marguerite" is a charming and humorous narrative about a man's relentless pursuit of Marguerite's love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Marguerite, a woman of modest stature with captivating eyes and a childlike mouth. The protagonist is smitten by her beauty and expresses his love, only to be met with a bouquet of flowers and a playful remark from Marguerite, who seems to misunderstand his true desires. The refrain, "Si tu veux faire mon bonheur, Marguerite donne-moi ton cœur," underscores his plea for her heart rather than superficial gestures.

The song continues with a series of comical misadventures. Marguerite, dressed in her finest attire, takes the protagonist to a dance where she clumsily steps on his feet and accidentally pokes his eye with her hat pin. Despite these mishaps, the protagonist remains undeterred, singing under her window about his burning love. In a humorous twist, Marguerite responds by dousing him with a bucket of water, thinking it would extinguish his passion. Yet, the protagonist's refrain remains the same, emphasizing his longing for her heart.

Ultimately, Marguerite's innocence and traditional values lead her to propose marriage as the only solution. The song concludes with their wedding night, where Marguerite finally offers her heart, fulfilling the protagonist's wish. Fragson's playful lyrics and the light-hearted tone of the song highlight the misunderstandings and comedic elements often present in romantic pursuits. The song captures the essence of love's trials and tribulations, wrapped in a delightful and entertaining narrative.
