Martin Guerre movie - The Jail lyrics
rate me<br>
(Bertrande reaches through the bars of the jail to Arnaud, who is chained)<br>
Bertrande<br>
My love, my love, I will wait for you!<br>
I am, and will always be your wife!<br>
And in the spring our child will be born, strong like his father<br>
Then together, we'll wait<br>
And through the seasons he'll grow<br>
And he'll learn of his past!<br>
Of the sacrifice his father made for love<br>
Arnaud<br>
I am Arnaud du Thil<br>
Bertrande<br>
Arnaud du Thil... <br>
Arnaud<br>
You're not my wife! <br>
Bertrande<br>
Arnaud du Thil!<br>
Arnaud<br>
He was my friend<br>
Bertrande<br>
I am more your wife than his<br>
Arnaud<br>
I still betrayed him...Bertrande!<br>
Everything we fought for was born of a lie!<br>
And we deceived ourselves into believing it!<br>
I am nobody now, I am worthless Bertrande<br>
As I was in the past and always will be!<br>
Both<br>
And all I know is that nothing now can change the way I feel<br>
And all I know is the touch of love that changes all I know!<br>
(Martin arrives with keys to the jail, and he opens the door<br>
to let himself and Bertrande inside)<br>
Bertrande<br>
Please, Martin, you don't understand...he came to tell me how you died!<br>
Arnaud<br>
But when I saw Bertrande, the words you said Martin, you spoke of<br>
dreams, Martin<br>
You spoke of chance...<br>
And the hope that you gave me was the hope that turned to loving<br>
(Martin turns to leave, but stops)<br>
Martin<br>
You! Can this really be you! Is a thief and a traitor all you are<br>
made of in the end?<br>
Arnaud<br>
You! I believed you were dead!<br>
Never meant to betray you, please forgive me as a friend!<br>
Bertrande<br>
(she pulls Martin back inside)<br>
You! How can you talk of need!<br>
All those years that I wasted, while I waited just for you!<br>
He never lied to me once!<br>
He would never deceive me, he has told me all he knew...<br>
Martin<br>
But still he betrayed me<br>
Bertrande<br>
He took the life that you left<br>
He was the husband to love me!<br>
He became part of my life!<br>
It's a life I was made for, that I prayed for all these years!<br>

(Benoit enters)<br>
Benoit<br>
Why would they kill someone as beautiful as her?<br>
Why would they burn someone as beautiful as her?<br>
They said she was a Protestant! They're b-burning all the <br>
Protestants...burn the Protestant scum, they said. I told them<br>
Louison's not a Protestant, she's a scarecrow! But they said no,<br>
she has to die, she has to die like the Protestant Martin Guerre!<br>
Bertrande (to Martin)<br>
You must help us! Have you not even learned to forgive?<br>
(Martin unchains Arnaud and they leave in a hurry.)<br>
Benoit<br>
Go! Go!<br>
(Guillaume enters the jail)<br>
Guillaume<br>
Where are they?!<br>
