The No Marriage Proposal
Words and music: Georges Brassens
1 My honey of grace let's put
Not under the throat of Cupid
br/>His own arrow
So many lovers have tried it
Who have paid for their happiness
This sacrilege.
R I have the honor of
Do not ask for your hand
Let us not engrave
Our names at the bottom
Of a parchment.
2 Let it free reign for the bird
We will both be taken prisoner(n)-
-deniers on our word
To hell with the mistresses who tie hearts to tails
br/>Saucepans.
3 Venus often gets old
She loses her Latin in front of
The fry pan
I don't want it at any price
br/>Tear the leaves in the stew
The daisy.
4 We have many attractions for them
By revealing too much of the secrets
Of Mélusine
The ink on the sweet notes fades
Quickly between the pages of the kitchen books.
5 It may seem easy
To put In the shade at the bottom of a pot
Of jam
The pretty apple forbidden
But it is cooked it has lost
Its natural taste.
6 I have no need of a servant
And of the household and its care
I exempt you
As an eternal betrothed
to the lady of my thoughts
Always I think.
