Andro

Fest Noz à Ditchling: Mike James and Yves LeBlanc play an Andro for Dansez Français.

Words to song found at: http://www.lyricstime.com/souliers-sont-rouges-mes-bonsoir-le-ma-tre-de-la-ma...

(Translation to English follows at end)

Bonsoir le maître de la maison (x2)
Et toute la compagnie, mantirelire lon li ra (x2)

Non je ne suis pas venu ici
Ni pour pleurer, ni pour rire,

Je suis venu pour vous demander
A marier votre fille,

Jeune homme laquelle voulez-vous
La grande ou bien la petite,

Monsieur la petite s'il vous plaît
Car elle est la plus gentille,

La grande est assise au coin du feu
Qui pleure et qui soupire,

Oh ma soeur, ne pleurez pas tant
Car vous serez mariée,

Mariée à un riche marchand
Revendeur de pommes cuites,

Et qui vous mènera à Paris
A cheval sur une bourrique,

- - - - - -
Good evening, master of the house (x2)
And all the company, mantirelire-lon-li-ra (nonsense syllables to fit tune) (x2)

No I haven't come here
To cry nor to laugh

I have come to ask
To marry your daughter

Young man which one do you want
The older one or the younger one?

Sir the younger one please
Because she is the prettier

The older one sits by the fire
Crying and sighing

Oh my sister, do not cry so
For you will be married

Married to a rich merchant
A dealer in baked apples

He will take you to Paris
Sitting astride a donkey

I've put the French words to the song, and an English translation, in the Description just below the video. You'll probably have to pull down on the double arrow button to see it.

Don't be surprised if the words they sing don't correspond exactly - and I can't hear them clearly enough to check :-)
