Martin Guerre movie - Where's the Child? lyrics
rate me<br>
Guillaume<br>
Will he never take his aim, ram it home, play the game<br>
Can he never find the place where he's meant to slide? <br>
Gang<br>
Does he have a spear to tilt<br>
Is it sharp, does it wilt? <br>
We've been counting twenty weeks, nothing grows inside. <br>
Screw him! <br>
Guillaume<br>
Wait, we mustn't think the worst<br>
Gang<br>
Screw him! <br>
Guillaume<br>
Well, it seems we'd be the first<br>
Without some rain, a woman dies of thirst<br>
Women<br>
Will we ever see her fat<br>
Can't a Guerre manage that? <br>
She's been counting thirty weeks, nothing grows inside<br>
(Father Dominic arrives)<br>
Father Dominic<br>
God has made it plain we go forth and multiply<br>
Ernestine<br>
If he needs some help I've a cure that he could try<br>
Villagers<br>
Still he claims to be a man<br>
Where's his smile, where's his pride?<br>
Father Dominic<br>
We must save his soul from the spirits in his bed<br>
Celestine<br>
A potion for his blood that will turn his passion red<br>
Villagers<br>
We've been counting forty weeks, nothing grows inside<br>
(Martin runs to Bertrande. She tries to take Martin into her arms.)<br>
Bertrande<br>
Come on Martin, don't be afraid<br>
Our love will grow when love is made<br>
(Martin holds her off)<br>
Martin<br>
But every night I feel the same<br>
We're both too young for this<br>
I'm not too blame<br>
(she pushes her away)<br>
(Guillaume and his gang grab Martin, put a dress on him,<br>
and lift him into the air)<br>
Guillaume<br>
Get her a skirt, boys, put rouge on her face<br>
Now she can flirt, boys, but wait just in case<br>
Get her a boyfriend to kiss and embrace<br>
Gang<br>
Here's Benoit!<br>
(They lift Benoit up)<br>
Guillaume<br>
Put him on top boys, she's game for the ride<br>
Don't let him stop boys, she wants him inside<br>
We know how wives like to be satisfied<br>
Gang<br>
Where's the child?<br>
(Bertrande tries to pull Guillaume away from Martin. <br>
Guillaume takes Bertrande aside and kneels in front of her)<br>
Guillaume<br>
Please Bertrande, if you knew the tears I've shed<br>
Why love him when you could love me instead? <br>
Bertrande<br>
Love Guillaume?! I will never share your bed! <br>
(she wrenches herself away from him)<br>
(The gang starts to attack Martin. Bertrande tries to stop Guillaume,<br>
but he pushes her away, and beats up Martin.)<br>
Villagers<br>
Just one seed he has to sow<br>
Where's the child, will grow?<br>
Is there something we don't know?<br>
Has he learned to ride?<br>
Is he drinking too much beer?<br>
Where's the child, should be here<br>
She's been counting for a year<br>
Nothing grows inside<br>
(The gang finally leaves. Bertrande tries to comfort Martin,<br>
but he pushes her away and runs off)<br>
Martin<br>
Get away from me!<br>
(Mme de Rols comes to comfort Bertrande)<br>
Mme de Rols<br>
There's no need to be afraid<br>
Come my child, you will learn<br>
You must try to understand him. <br>
Bertrande<br>
Mother, I have tried so hard, tried to talk, tried to please<br>
Yet he always turns away<br>
Mme de Rols<br>
Give him time! <br>
I promise he will love you<br>
Trust me, child<br>
One day he'll grow to love you<br>
Bertrande<br>
He never smiles or looks into my eyes<br>
Must I always be alone? <br>
<br>
