MATHILDE (Mathilde)

(J. Brel / egl. by Arnie Johnston)

Mama, the time is near again

To pray for me in fear again

Mathilde is here again

Wineseller, you can keep your wares

Tonight I mean to drink my cares

Mathilde is here again

Hey, you-the maid-yes, you-Marie

You'd better change the sheets for me

Mathilde is here again

My friends, don't leave me now, I pray

Tonight I jump back in the fray

Since damned Mathilde's back today

My heart, my heart, don't run away

Pretend you didn't hear me say

Mathilde is back today

My heart, don't tell me any more

That she's more lovely than before

Mathilde, who's back today

My heart, stop swinging like a bell

Remember how she gave you hell

Mathilde, who's back today

My friends, don't leave me now, I pray

Remind me I can walk away

From damned Mathilde any day

And you, my hands, can't you keep still

You know she means to do you ill

Mathilde is back again

And you, my hands, stop clapping so

Don't pay attention to her show

Mathilde is back again

And you, my hands, stop trembling, do

Remember how I wept on you

Mathilde is back again

My hands, don't open wide again

My arms, don't spread to take her in

That damned Mathilde's back again

Mama, it does no good to pray

Your Jacques is back in Hell today

Mathilde's come back to me

Wineseller, bring us all the wares

You sell at weddings and at fairs

Mathilde's come back to me

And you-the maid-yes, you-Marie

Make up the double bed for me

Mathilde's come back to me

Depend on me no more my friends

I'm hoist on my petard again

My sweet Mathilde, back again

You're back again
