Lyrics Le marin et la sainte vierge Hugues Aufray

Le marin et la sainte vierge


Le chalutier revient chargé
Rempli de poissons à ras-bord.
Et sur les vagues déchaînées,
Le bateau roule au vent du Nord,
Au vent du nord.
Il était très loin de chez lui,
Il cherche le chemin du port.
Mais sur les rochers, dans la nuit,
Il est touché à mort.

REFRAIN
Vierge-Marie, protégez-nous.
Vierge-Marie, priez pour nous.

Il est bien pauvre, le marin
Que l'océan va engloutir.
Il pense que sa femme au loin
Ne le verra plus revenir,
Ne le verra plus revenir.
Il n'a connu sur cette terre
Que l'abscence et la pauvreté.
Marie écoutait sa prière
Avant de le noyer.

REFRAIN

Je vous demande pardon, madame,
De penser encore à la terre
Plutôt qu'au salut de mon âme
Dans cette dernière prière,
Dans cette dernière prière.
Ma femme était plus que ma vie,
Je l'ai aimée comme un damné.
Je veux la voir, Vierge-Marie,
Avant de me noyer.

REFRAIN

Si touchante était la prière
Que, là-haut, Marie a pleuré.
Il fit venir, sur la mer,
La femme en robe de mariée,
La femme en robe de mariée.
Elle ordonna une nuit d'amour
Très loin de l'espace et du temps,
Et le réunit pour toujours
Au fond de l'océan.
