Ma Belle Marguerite 1947 'Bless The Bride'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 27 Sep 2002

In September when the grapes are purple,
Marguerite pick the grapes with me,
there are silver bells upon her fingers:
All the little birds come out to see
Ma belle Marguerite!
So beautiful to see
Les mains de ma petite,
Marguerite picking grapes with me,

Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay
Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay

Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay
Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay

In October when they fill the winepress,
Marguerite tread the grapes with me,
Marguerite has the feet of Angels:
All the little boys come out to see
Ma belle Marguerite!
So beautiful to see
Les pieds de ma petite
Marguerite treading wine with me.

Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay
Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay

Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay
Ting aling aling aling aling aling aling ay

In December when the wind is blowing,
when the snow is on the Bois d'Issy,
sunshine still is in the golden glasses:
Marguerite drink the sun with me.

Ma belle Marguerite!
So beautiful to see
La bouche de ma petite
Marguerite drinking wine with me,
Marguerite drinking wine with me.
