French Folk Song - Belle Nanon (Unknown Artist) 1980s
Музыка
This rather haunting song is from the tape from which I uploaded "M'en Suis Allé Aux Noces" 4 years ago.That song turned out to be from Brittany, so this may have the same connection. Many thanks to 'frenchrescue' for giving us the lyrics and translation. I have lost these lyrics since I had to take my original video down last year.
But I have enclosed below the original lyrics of the song. The singer here does not sing these lyrics exactly, but in part. I have re-made this video following the storyline of the song. A young man leaves his lover to go off to war for six years. He realistically worries that others will replace him. She thinks not.
1. Je m'en fus à sa porte,
Trois petits coups frapper.
Je m'en fus à sa porte,
Trois petits coups frapper.
«Ah, dormez-vous, sommeillez-vous,
Belle Nanon?
Si vous dormez, réveillez-vous;
C'est votre amant qui parle à vous.»
2. La belle prend sa chandelle,
Elle prend son jupon blanc,
Elle va ouvrir la porte
À son fidèle amant.
Elle prit le tas entre ses bras,
En lui disant:
«Elle pris le tas entre ses bras
En lui disant mon cher amant.»
3. Cessez, cessez, la belle;
Vous me faites me mourir.
Le régiment m'appelle;
Il faut lui obéir.
Je suis engagé pour six ans
Au régiment.
Je suis engagé pour six ans;
«O, adieu donc, belle Nanon.»
4. Elle lui répond, la belle:
«Six ans - c'est bien longtemps.
A qui contrai - j'mes peines,
Mes chagrins, mes tourments?
Je m'en irai là-bas, bien loin
Dedans les bois.
Je m'en irai là-bas, bien loin,
En regrettant mon cher amant.
5. Les garçons du village ne savant pas faire l'amour;
Toujours les mêmes paroles,
Toujours les mêmes discours.
Ils vous diront de temps en temps:
«Belle Nanon,
Ne pleurez pas sur votre amant
Car il est mort au régiment.»
6. Les garçons d'alentour ils sont des forts beaux garçons;
Ils vous feront l'amour,
Le soir, en attendant.
N'sont pas comme toi, mon cher amant,
Quand tu reviens;
N'sont pas comme toi, mon cher amant,
Car il y a toujours du changement.»
English Translation of the above lyrics.
I was at his door,
Three small strokes hit .
I was at his door,
Three small strokes hit .
" Oh, do you sleep , you snooze ,
Beautiful Nanon ?
If you sleep , wake up ;
This is your lover who speaks to you. "
2 . Beautiful takes his candle ,
She takes her white petticoat ,
It will open the door
In her faithful lover .
She took the job in his arms,
Saying:
"She took the job in his arms
Telling him my dear lover. "
3 . Stop , stop , beautiful ;
You kill me me .
The regiment called me ;
We must obey him.
I am committed to six years
The regiment.
I am committed for six years;
" O, farewell then, Nanon beautiful . "
4 . She replied , beautiful :
" Six years - it's very long.
Who contrary - j'mes sentences
My sorrows, my torments ?
I go there , far
In the woods .
I go there , far away,
Regretting my dear lover.
5 . The village boys learned not only to love;
Always the same words,
Always the same speech.
They will tell you from time to time :
" Beautiful Nanon
Do not weep for your lover
Because he died in the regiment . "
6 . Boys around they are strong beautiful boys ;
They will love you ,
Night , waiting .
N'sont not like you , my dear lover,
When you come back ;
N'sont not like you , my dear lover,
Because there is always change. "

Not "unknown artists". This is Évelyne Girardon with Max Di Napoli and Jean Blanchard. It's part of their 1984's album titled "Beau temps sur la province".
I am very curious about that tape. 😉 Here we hear a song by the 33T "Beau sur la province" from 1982. The voice is unmistakably Evelyne 'Béline' Girardon and you hear her buddy Jean Blanchard's violin. The song is from Quebec.
i love the way lyricist pottery the story of lovers in this song. (learned english translation ) .love from nepal.

Here are the lyrics as written by my Mémère Elisa Thibodeau, an Acadienne from the St. John's River Valley. She titles it "Cher Leonore" [sic] Le matin je me leve a la rose de jour Au chateau de la belle pour lui faire l’amour Belle dormez-vous sommeillez-vous, Chère Leonore Si vous dormez reveillez-vous C’est votre amant qui parle à vous. Car la belle elle se leve et mit son jupon blanc S’en fut ouvrire la porte a son fidele amant Elle se jetta dedans ces bras En lui disent Car c’est donc toi mon chèr amant Celui que mon coeur aimai tant Cessez, cessez, la belle vous me faisez languir Le regiment m’appelle il faut lui obeir Je suis engagé pour six ans à l”Orleans Je suis engagé pour six ans Oh Adieu donc chère Leonare Six Ans, six ans, mon chèr six ans c’est trop longtemps À qui j’contrai mes peines mes chagrins mes torments Je m’ennirai dedans ces champs Toujour pleurent Toujour pleurent en regretant Celui que mon coeur aimai tant Les garçons du vilage ils sont bons garçons Ils vous feront l’amour pendant Je serait absent Ils vous diront de temps en temps Pleurez pas tant Pleurez pas tant pour votre amant Car il est mort au regiment Les garçons du village ne savent pa faire l’amour Toujours les même paroles toujours les même discourse c’est pas comme toi mon chèr amant quand tu reviens a chaque fois que tu reviens il y a toujour du changements i took some liberties with the following translation: In the morning I arise in the rose o’the day to the chateau of my love for with her to lay Are you asleep, and dreaming too, Dear Leonore? If slumber has you, pray awake ’tis I, your love who calls for you So the damsel doth awake, and dons her lily robe and thereupon throws wide the door for he who loves her so she casts herself into his arms to softly tell at last it’s you my cherished one the one who my heart loves so well be still and hold my sweet love you'll make me wilt away The regiment calls to me and I must obey I’m yet engaged for six more years in Orleans I’m yet engaged for six more years Oh fare thee well my dear Leonore Six years my dear, six more years is far too long a time with which to suffer such torment my worries and my pains I’ll miss you true out in the fields Fore'er in tears Regret and tears forevermore for the one who my heart loves so dear All the boys of the town they are good old boys Surely they’ll make love to you while I am away They'll tell you soft from time to time oh don't you cry oh don't you cry for your old love For he by now has surely died All the boys of the town they know not what to do The lyrics are always the same and always the same tune It’s not like that, with you my love oh, not with you for every time that you return Safe there is always something new

Thank you very much, Robert, for your translation which is more accurate to what the singer sings than the lyrics I acquired in my notes section. The only verse that doesn't seem to fit the singer's words is verse 2? She seems to sing lyrics different to both your ones and my ones. Thank you again for your contribution to this thread. : ) Bless you. I wonder if I should now add Elisa Thibodeau's title - "Cher Leonore" - to ' Belle Nanon ' ? Maybe one in brackets.

the lyrics are in the notes.
The translation is somehow inaccurate, in the parts about the boys that will love her. The lyrics literally talk about making love, the translation erased that.

Voici les paroles complets: Les paroles Français- Anglais : LE MATIN JE ME LÈVE / BELLE NANON Le matin je me lève plus, matin-cœur d'un jour ( The morning when I woke up, the breaking dawn of day) Au château de la belle s’est joint, Va-t-il faire l'amour ( In the castle where my love lived, I'm on my way ) - "Belle, dormez-vous, sommeillez-vous, chère Nanon? ( Love, are you sleeping, are you asleep, my dear Nanon? ) - Si vous dormez, réveillez-vous! C'est votre amant qui parle à vous." ( If you're in your sleep, please wake up! It's me- your love who speak to you. ) Elle alluma sa chandelle, Et met son jupon blanc ( She lit her candle and worn her white jupon ) (Elle) allait ouvrir la porte à son fidèle amant ( She opened up the door to her faithful lover ) Elle se jeta dedans ses bras en lui disant : ( She threw herself into his arms and told him: ) - "Ah, c'est tu, toi, mon cher amant, qu'est revenu au régiment." ( Ah, it's you, my love who has arrived from the regiment/ army ) - " Retires-toi la belle! Car tu me fais languir. Le régiment m'appelle, il faut lui obéir. ( Retire of me, my love! Because I make you waiting. The regiment has called me and I have to obey it. ) - Je suis engagé pour 7 ( sept) au régiment, ( I'll be engaged for 7 years in regiment ) - Je suis engagé pour 7 ( sept) ans, c'est pour s'agir au régiment."

" ( Then who will couter my sadness, my pain and my torture ? ) Je m'en irais dedans ces chambres, Toujours pleurant, ( I would run into those chambers and cry all the time ) toujours pleurant, mon cher amant, celui que mon coeur aimait tant . ( always crying , for my cherished lover , it's him that my heart would love the most. ) Verse 2. - " Les garçons du village je sais, sont des bons enfants ( The lads in the village who are good ones) Ils te feront l'amour pendant que j'serai absent ( They will love you when I was absent ) Ils te diront de temps en temps, " (Ne) pleurez pas tant! ( Ne) Pleurez pas tant en tue (?) car il est mort au régiment." ( They would tell you from time to time, " Cry no more! Cry no more 'cause your love was dead in the army. ") - " Les garçons du village, ils ne savent pas faire l'amour, ( The lads in the village who don't know about love ) ils ont toujours les mêmes langages, toujours les mêmes discours. ( They have the same language, always a same sayings ) - C'est pas comme toi es-là, mon cher amant. À chaque fois que tu es-là, il n'y a toujours du changement. " ( It's not like you there, my love. Every time you appear, it would be different as always. )

It's just French. French from Normandy always spoke a langue d'Oïl which is just French. Distinction between "normans" and "French" is an artificial distinction made from english nationalism.
I highly doubt is it was the 1980s. 1880's, maybe.
