Martin Guerre movie - The Last Witness lyrics
rate me<br>
Please your Lordship, lend an ear<br>
You should see this musketeer<br>
He wants to address the court<br>
Looks impressive...and I thought<br>
Judge Coras<br>
Wait!<br>
Very well, show him in, let him speak<br>
Villager<br>
But my lord!<br>
(Martin enters and stands on the platform)<br>
Judge Coras<br>
State your name<br>
Martin<br>
My name is Guerre...Martin Guerre<br>
(Guillaume runs to look at him closer)<br>
Arnaud<br>
Can't you see by the look on his face, it's not him!<br>
Bertrande<br>
He's been sent by a devil, a demon, a ghost... Oh God, please!<br>
Arnaud<br>
Can't you see this apparition here is the imposter<br>
He's been sent from hell to torment me<br>
And at the same time would steal my wife and steal the name of Martin Guerre!<br>
My lord, it's all a ploy devised by them<br>
Pierre Guerre, when he found I was a Protestant hated me!<br>
He never wanted me to inherit the land!<br>
Martin<br>
My friend, my friend, it's me, Martin<br>
(he throws Arnaud the pouch they had on the battlefield in Flanders)<br>
Judge Coras<br>
Is there anyone here who can vouch for this man?<br>
If there's anyone here I insist they come forward and speak<br>
(Lubin measures Martin, Galoche measures his feet)<br>
Villager<br>
That's Martin, my lord, I should know, I used to work with him!<br>
Crone<br>
If you're asking me, sir, I know who I'd prefer<br>
Lubin<br>
And the arm, look, it's neither too long or too short<br>
Galoche<br>
And his feet are exactly the size that they ought<br>
Pierre<br>
It's him...my own flesh<br>
Welcome home, Martin<br>
Mme de Rols<br>
Please forgive us, my son, you're back<br>
Three Crones<br>
Can you be sure Martin is back?<br>
Martin<br>
I have come for my name<br>
I am Martin Guerre<br>
Judge Coras<br>
Bertrande, I call on you once again<br>
You must condemn one of these men<br>
(Catherine and Mme de Rols help Bertrande onto the platform)<br>
Mme de Rols<br>
Remember, dear, you're one of us<br>
Pierre<br>
Remember Artigat, Bertrande<br>
Bertrande<br>
Martin, Martin...<br>
What shall I do?<br>
Catherine<br>
Did he lie to you?<br>
Villager<br>
He lied to us all<br>
Bertrande<br>
Martin, what shall I say?<br>
Villagers<br>
You must condemn one of these men<br>
Bertrande<br>
Martin, what have we done?<br>
Judge Coras<br>
The time has come to tell the truth, only the truth<br>
Villagers<br>
Tell us the truth<br>
Judge Coras<br>
Only the truth can help you now<br>
(the villagers surround Bertrande, pulling her in all directions)<br>
Arnaud<br>
My name...is Arnaud du Thil<br>
<br>
