Martin Guerre movie - Duty lyrics
rate me<br>
Father Dominic <br>
We are here before our Lord, yet we do not serve him well!<br>
Artigat, you must open your eyes!<br>
There are Protestants all around, we must protect Artigat<br>
(singing in Latin)<br>
Every face I see<br>
Man and child<br>
Man and wife<br>
Fighting for their land, for their faith, for their lives!<br>
If we fail to fight, then we're damned, count the cost<br>
(He takes Bertrande by the arm)<br>
All it takes is one to forget then we're lost<br>
Villagers<br>
Bertrande you have a duty to Catholics everywhere <br>
To save the land of Artigat you must provide an heir!<br>
(Pierre walks by, with Guillaume chasing after him)<br>
Guillaume<br>
Pierre, the time has come to listen to me<br>
We know Bertrande must give us a child<br>
To save our land<br>
Pierre<br>
What more can I do? <br>
If he comes back--<br>
Guillaume<br>
She must have it soon<br>
If you choose me to marry her next<br>
I'll give to you a good Catholic heir<br>
Pierre<br>
You'll wed Bertrande, but you must agree<br>
Her land, her child, remain with me!<br>
(Pierre and Guillaume leave)<br>
Villagers<br>
Bertrande, forget your husband<br>
You know what you must do<br>
We need an heir for Artigat<br>
Bertrande, it's up to you<br>
(Bertrande kneels before Father Dominic)<br>
Bertrande<br>
Every day, I pray for Martin's return, Father<br>
Tell me what else can I do?<br>
Father Dominic<br>
I have spoken to the Bishop, Bertrande<br>
He has found an answer to our prayers<br>
Bertrande<br>
If he has found Martin I promise<br>
I will give Artigat an heir<br>
Father Dominic<br>
The bishop is prepared to grant an annulment of your marriage at last<br>
So our land can be saved<br>
You will give us a child when you marry Guillaume<br>
(Guillaume comes to stand in front of her. Bertrande is surrounded<br>
by the women. Guillaume kneels before her and the women force her <br>
to kneel as well.)<br>
Bertrande<br>
Never!<br>
Father Dominic<br>
Marry Guillaume<br>
Bertrande<br>
I will never...<br>
Father Dominic<br>
This is your duty!<br>
Bertrande<br>
wed Guillaume!<br>
Father Dominic<br>
You have no choice!<br>
Bertrande<br>
Not for Catholics<br>
Father Dominic<br>
The bishop insists<br>
Bertrande<br>
Not for anyone<br>
Father Dominic<br>
Artigat demands<br>
Bertrande<br>
Not for the church<br>
Father Dominic<br>
I beg you Bertrande!<br>
Bertrande (to her mother)<br>
Not for you!<br>
Father Dominic<br>
You'll do as you're told!<br>
Bertrande<br>
And not for Artigat!<br>
(The villagers cross themselves and then leave. Guillaume<br>
walks around the kneeling Bertrande.)<br>
Villagers<br>
Marry Guillaume, do your duty...<br>
Marry Guillaume, do your duty...<br>
<br>
