Mathilde

My mother, here comes the time
To go pray for my salvation
Mathilde has returned
Innkeeper, you can keep your wine
Tonight I will drink my sorrow
Mathilde has returned
You, the servant, you, Maria
It might be better to change our sheets
Mathilde has returned
My friends, don't leave me
Tonight I go back to battle
Accursed Mathilde, now that you're here

My heart, my heart, don't get carried away
Act as if you didn't know
That Mathilde has returned
My heart, stop repeating
That she's more beautiful than before the summer
The Mathilde who has returned
My heart, stop wobbling
Remember she tore you apart
The Mathilde who has returned
My friends, don't leave me, no
Tell me, tell me it's not necessary
Accursed Mathilde, now that you're here

And you, my hands, stay calm
It's a dog returning from the city
Mathilde has returned
And you, my hands, don't strike
All this is none of your business
Mathilde has returned
And you, my hands, don't tremble anymore
Remember when I cried on you
Mathilde has returned
You, my hands, don't open
You, my arms, don't reach out
Sacred Mathilde, now that you're here

My mother, stop your prayers
Your Jacques returns to hell
Mathilde has returned
Innkeeper, bring us wine
The one from weddings and feasts
Mathilde has returned
You, the servant, you, Maria
Go make my big bed with sheets
Mathilde has returned
Friends, don't count on me anymore
I spit at the sky once again
My beautiful Mathilde, now that you're here, here you are.
