(Gentry-Thomas-Rivat)
It was the fourth of June, the sun had been beating down since the morning
I was taking care of the vineyard and my brother was loading the hay
And there When lunch time came, we went back? ? the house
And our mother screamed? from the kitchen: "Wipe your feet on the doormat"
Then she told us that she had news from Bourg-les-Essonnes
This morning Marie-Jeanne Guillaume threw herself out of the Garonne bridge
And my father said? my mother, passing us the gratin dish:
"Marie-Jeanne, she wasn't very clever, so pass me the bread.
There are still two hectares to plow in the cane field."
And mother said: "You see, when I think about it, it's still stupid for poor Marie-Jeanne
We would say that nothing good ever happens in Bourg-les-Essonnes
And so Marie-Jeanne Guillaume is going to throw herself off the Garonne bridge"
And my brother says that he remembered when he and I and the great Nicolas
We put a frog on Marie-Jeanne's back one evening at the cinema
And he said to me: "You remember, you spoke to her this Sunday near the church
Give me a little more wine, life is so unfair
To say that I saw her at the Bourg sawmill yesterday? -les-Essonnes
And that today Marie-Jeanne threw herself from the Garonne bridge"
Mom finally said to me: "Big boy, you don't have much appetite
I cooked all this morning, and you didn't touch anything, you didn't take anything
Tell me, the sister of this young heart? came by car
She told me she would come on Sunday? dinner... oh! And ? About
She said she saw a boy who looked like you? Bourg-les-Essonnes
And he and Marie-Jeanne threw something from the Garonne bridge"
A whole year has passed, we no longer talk about Marie-Jeanne at all
My brother who got married took over a store with his wife
The flu came to our house and my father died in January
Since then, my mother has not had any more want to do much, she is always tired
And me, from time to time I go and pick up a few flowers near the Essonnes
And I throw them into the muddy waters of the top of the Garonne bridge
