Marianne Faithfull - Mon Ami, My Friend lyrics

rate me

My Madeleine of Paris

She'll laugh and dance and sing

To cheer the weary soldier

At his homecoming.

A little room together,

An hour of love to spend.

"Comme ça, your arms around me,"

Oh, mon ami, my friend.

But she, how she remembers

That other love and joy.

The first, the best,

The dearest tired soldier boy.

A narrow room alone now,

Rain on the roof above

And he will sleep forever,

Oh, mon ami, my love.

My Madeleine of Paris

She does not sit and grieve,

But sings away her sorrows

To cheer the soldiers' leave.

For life is short and funny

And love must have an end.

An hour may be forever

Oh, mon ami, my friend.

For life is short and funny

And love must have an end.

An hour may be forever

Oh, mon ami, my friend.

Thank you!
