Arnaud<br>

(he stands on the platform, and is heckled after everything he says)<br>

Look, I'm Martin Guerre!<br>

There's no disguise, look in my eyes<br>

I'm him I swear<br>

Yes! I'm Martin Guerre!<br>

Why this attack?<br>

When I came back weren't you all there?<br>

She is my wife, she carries new life<br>

And look! Look at what we became<br>

For by heaven you're sure to see there's more to Martin Guerre than a name!<br>

I'm a Protestant, yes<br>

Of this I am proud<br>

But to bring down your lives<br>

This is not what I vowed<br>

I vowed to love the Lord<br>

(to Catherine and the Protestants)<br>

I won't stand and see destroyed the precious times we've all enjoyed<br>

Look, I'm Martin Guerre!<br>

Broken and torn, I was reborn out of despair<br>

Yes! I'm Martin Guerre!<br>

This is my land, and here I stand<br>

I'm him I swear<br>

I've come so far<br>

I've found my way home<br>

And look, look at what I became!<br>

And by heaven you're sure to see there's more to Martin Guerre than name!<br>

Catholics<br>

Can't you see he's playing games, my Lord<br>

Can't you see the Protestant's a fraud<br>

He stole a name, a wife, and then he planned to give the fucking <br>

Protestants the land!<br>

Prostestants<br>

Who are you to condemn this man?<br>

Catholics<br>

He pretends to be a Guerre!<br>

Protestants<br>

As he is!<br>

Catholics<br>

He was never Martin Guerre!<br>

Protestants<br>

When it suited you he was<br>

Then you saw he was Protestant<br>

And then you wanted him no more<br>

Judge Coras<br>

Silence!<br>

Catholics and Protestants<br>

Father save us from hypocrites like them!<br>

Judge Coras<br>

Silence!<br>

All I've heard in this room is the chattering of fools<br>

Bitter words, angry howls like the braying of mules<br>

Without truth all this noise is as empty as the air<br>

Come Bertrande, you must know<br>

Is this man Martin Guerre?<br>

<br>
