Aux marches du palais
Yves Montand
At the palace steps
At the palace steps
At the palace steps
There is such a beautiful girl lonla,
There is such a beautiful girl.
She has so many lovers
That she doesn't know which one to choose.
It's a little shoemaker
Who had her preference.
It's while fitting her shoes
That he asked her hand.
My beauty if you wish
We would sleep together.
In a large square bed
Adorned with white linen.
At the four corners of the bed
A bouquet of periwinkles.
In the middle of the bed
The river is deep.
All the king's horses
Could drink there together.
And we would sleep there
Until the end of the world.
