Maïtechu

Maïtechu
It's a name from our land
And for me, you see,
It's the sweetest name
Maïtechu
It's a name, I confess
That can make others jealous
To the point of madness.

In the excitement
Of a beautiful love that is born
Despite oneself,
It's suddenly whispered.

Maïtechu
It's a name that says it all
And whose melody
Embroiders our life

Having no one to write it to
I engraved it on my house
And not knowing how to say it
I made this song for you

Maïtechu
It's a name from our land
And for me, you see,
It's the sweetest name
Maïtechu
It's a name above all
I dreamed like a madman
Of giving it only to you

I would like
If you would allow me
I would like
To whisper it at your knees
Maïtechu
It's a name that says it all
A name that simply means
"My darling".
