Mamzell' Marie / Ton Grandpere est le soleil Lyrics – Marie Christine

Mamzell' Marie

MARIE CHRISTINE:
She knew the secrets of Santo Domingo,
medicines,
spells.
She knew the secrets of Mother Africa,
powerful,
healing,
God-revealing.
And those who would believe were heard.
Servants who envied their masters,
upper-class women, wealthy and white,
young men hungry for lovers;
she spoke to their hearts.
She answered their need,
ou-ai ye, mamzell' Marie.

Ton Grandpere est le soleil

Silver mimosa,
clouds on the lake
morning birds singing
barely awake

Silver mimosa

Rain in September,

BOTH:
Mandolin Street

your home,

my home,

MARIE CHRISTINE'S MOTHER:
your family,
and someday,
your children

MARIE CHRISTINE:
my children

MARIE CHRISTINE'S MOTHER:
Your grandfather is the sun
but your mother is a woman
who passes on to you
an all too human heart
beautiful,

MARIE CHRISTINE:
my grandfather is the sun

MARIE CHRISTINE'S MOTHER:

MARIE CHRISTINE'S MOTHER:
Ton grand-pere est le so-leil,

My grandfather is the sun
She knew the secret of Mother Africa
and she taught them all to me
