Song that Anne sang?
I was wondering if anyone knows what is that song Anne sang while playing the hapsichord? Thanks!
shareAux Marches Du Palais
It's an old love song that was also sung as a lullaby. The lyrics in English:
On the steps of the palaceshare
On the steps of the palace
There's a very beautiful girl, Lonla
There's a very beautiful girl
She has so many lovers
She has so many lovers
She does not know which to take, Lonla
She does not know which to take
There is a little shoemaker (cobbler)
There is a little shoemaker (cobbler)
Who has his preference, Lonla
Who has his preference
It's in the street when putting on her shoes
It's in the street when putting on her shoes
He declares his secret [love], Lonla
He declares his secret [love]
Beautiful, if you wish it
Beautiful, if you wish it
We sleep together, Lonla.
We sleep together
[Beautiful refers to Lonla: Beautiful, will you sleep with me?]
On the four corners of the bed
On the four corners of the bed
The nightingale is singing, Lonla
The nightingale is singing
[alternate - In a large square bed, Covered with white bast]
In the middle of the bed
In the middle of the bed
A bouquet of periwinkles, Lonla
A bouquet of periwinkles
In the middle of the bed
In the middle of the bed
The river is deep, Lonla
The river is deep
All the King's horses
All the King's horses
Could drink together, Lonla
Could drink together
And we sleep
And we sleep
Until the end of the world, Lonla
Until the end of the world
