Tarot Lyric Game- Solved

Kiama  17 Nov 2003 
Hi all,

I thought I'd re-start this one! These are lyrics to a Mediaeval Baebes song called 'Ah si Mon Moine'. It is in French, though I'll include the translation. The song is sung by a woman who wants a friar to dance with her, and she offers him many different 'friarly' things to tempt him.

"Ah si mon moine voulait danser
Un capuchon je lui donnerai.

(Chorus) Danse, mon moine danse,
Tu n'entends pas le danse,
Tu n'entends pas moulin-lon-la,
Tu n'entends pas
mon moulin marcher.

Ah si mon moine voulait danser,
Un ceinturon je lui donnerai.

(Chorus)

Ah si mon moine voulait danser,
Un chapelet je lui donnerai.

(Chorus)

Ah si mon moine voulait danser,
Un beau psautier je lui donnerai.

(Chorus)

Si'l n'avait fait voeu de pauvreté,
Bien d'autres chos' je lui donnerais.



Ah if the friar would like to dance
A monk's hood I would give him.

Dance, little friar dance
Do you not hear the dance,
Do you not hear my mill,
My little mill as it turns?

Ah if the friar would like to dance,
A monk's belt I would give to him.

Ah if the friar would like to dance,
A rosary of beads I would give him.

Ah if the friar would like to dance,
A psalm book I would give to him.

Had he not made his vow of poverty,
I might have given him 'something else'!

What card am I?

Kiama

Hmmmm she sounds like a temptress........The Devil? 


Kiama  17 Nov 2003 
Well, I made it far too easy didn't I? Next time I won't translate it... })

The Devil it is, Mystic Zyl. Your turn! :D :D :D

Okay, I'll sleep on it tonight and give you an answer in the morning, lol. 


Mystic Zyl  19 Nov 2003 
Kiama, I am still sleeping on it. I'll have it in the morning! 


Kiama  20 Nov 2003 
That's okay Mystic Zyl: take your time if you like. :D

Kiama
