Tu t'appelles Marguerite - Lynda Lemay

Tu t’appelles marguerite

J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face

Quand on etait petites

Tu etais la plus jolie de la classe

On revenais d’l’ecole?

Bicyclette

On s’planquait dans l’sous-sol pour s’faire en cachette

Nos petites confidences de fillettes

Tu t’appelles marguerite

J’ai nos 23 juin au fond du coeur

On vidait nos pupitres

On faussait un «adieu m’sieur l’professeur»

Puis on courait se mettre en maillots d’bain

On plantais l’arrosoir au bord du jardin

Pour rire sous les gouttelettes

Puis enfin

On regardait de loin

Le soleil se coucher

On riait un peu moins

On etait fatigu?

Es On disait: «regarde bien

Le ciel est tout ros?

Il fera beau demain

Faudra en profiter»

On a la jeunesse et la chance

D’avoir une bonne amie d’enfance

L’enfance a pris la fuite

La revolte t’a frap?

E de plein fouet

Aurais-tu eu trop vite

Onze ans et plus de courbes qu’il n’en fallait

Tes parents dormaient sur leurs deux oeilleres

Are?

Vant d’une honorable belle carri?

Re Pour toi la tendre chair de leur chair

Tes are?

Ves etaient precis

T’avais ta libert??

Conquerir

Tu avais tant flauri

Tu sentais le bon coeur pret a cueillir

Les gar?

Ons se ruaient sur tes rondeurs

Et j’en ai vu plus d’un de tirer des pleurs

Mais on riait sous tes gouttelettes puis enfin

Puis un beau soir t’as fait ta valise

T’as dit: «je suis pr?

te»

On s’est promis toutes sortes de b?

Tises

En riant sous des tonnes de gouttelettes

On a r’gard?

De loin

Le soleil se coucher

On riait un peu moin

On etait fatigu?

Es On a dit: «regarde bien

Le ciel est tout ros?

Il fera beau demain

Faudra en profiter»

Et tu es partie dans l’silence

Ma bonne et seule amie d’enfance

Tu t’appelle marguerite

J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face

T’as la chambre 108

T’es toujours la plus jolie de la place

T’as eu quelques maries et trois enfants

Sui viendront p’t-?

Tre a paques ou au jour de l’an

Mais t’as moins de visite

Depuis qu’ta memoire a foutu le camp

Quand le hasard a j’t?

Nos vieux corps

Dans l’m?

Me corridor

J’ai senti monter sous mas lunettes

Comme une petite mar?

E de gouttelettes

On regardera encore

Le soleil se coucher

Et si jamais tu t’endors

Si t’es trop fatigu?

E

J’te dirai: «regarde bien

Le ciel est tout ros?

Il fera beau demain

Faudra en profiter»

Mais tant qu’tu pars pas dans l’silence

J’vais t’rem?

Morer ton enfance

Tu t’appelles marguerite

J’t’appelle encore la voisine d’en face

Quand on etait petites tu etais la plus jolie de la classe

your name is daisy

I still call you the neighbor opposite

When we were little

You were the prettiest in the class

We were coming home from school?

Bicycle

We were hiding in the basement to do it on the sly

Our little girl secrets

your name is daisy

I have our June 23 at the bottom of my heart

We emptied our desks

We faked a "goodbye Mr. Professor"

Then we ran to get into bathing suits

We planted the watering can at the edge of the garden

To laugh under the droplets

And finally

We watched from afar

The sun go down

We laughed a little less

Were we tired?

Es We said, "Look good

The sky is all pink?

It will be sunny tomorrow

Will have to take advantage of it"

We have youth and luck

To have a good childhood friend

Childhood ran away

Revolt hit you?

E full force

Would you have had too quickly

Eleven years and more curves than needed

Your parents slept on their blinders

Are?

Vant of an honorable beautiful carri?

Re For you the tender flesh of their flesh

Your are?

You were precise

Did you have your freedom??

To conquer

You had bloomed so much

You felt the good heart ready to pick

Guys?

We were rushing on your curves

And I've seen more than one draw tears

But we laughed under your droplets then finally

Then one fine evening you packed your bags

You said, "I'm pr?

you"

We promised each other all kinds of b?

Teas

Laughing under tons of droplets

Are we looking?

From afar

The sun go down

We laughed a little less

Were we tired?

We said, "Look good

The sky is all pink?

It will be sunny tomorrow

Will have to take advantage of it"

And you left in silence

My good and only childhood friend

your name is daisy

I still call you the neighbor opposite

You got room 108

You're still the prettiest in the place

You had a few brides and three children

Sui will come p’t-?

Every Easter or New Year's Day

But you have fewer visitors

Since your memory ran out

When chance has I?

our old bodies

In the m?

My corridor

I felt rising under my glasses

Like a little mar?

E of droplets

We will watch again

The sun go down

And if you ever fall asleep

If you're too tired?

E

I will say to you: “look closely

The sky is all pink?

It will be sunny tomorrow

Will have to take advantage of it"

But as long as you don't leave in silence

Am I going to remind you?

Lose your childhood

your name is daisy

I still call you the neighbor opposite

When we were little you were the prettiest in the class
