lyrics

Marie-Jeanne
The Maid of Gevaudan
Such a tiny thing, La Pucelle
Still you stand so strong

La Bête still haunts
The dreams of Gevaudan

But you took it to task at the River Desges
And there you brandished the spear that would send it away
Though just a wisp of a girl, how you burn like a fire
Where other blushing young sweets would just lay down and die

Marie-Jeanne
Fille de la pauvreté
And then there's moi, Francois Antoine, Lieutenant of the Hunt
Sent by Louis the King

I have stared in the eyes of the hordes of the East
And I've commanded the field in the name of Louis
But the fire in your eyes now has burned into me
Just as sure as your blade pierced the heart of the Beast

Marie-Jeanne
You have no need of me
For I would only chance La Bête with an army of huntsmen
Riding at my heels

Elle était une fille courageuse
De vingt ans, non effrayé
Ilya un penurie de heroine jolies
Les autres, hélas, se terminant généralement par morir

Mon ami
The maid of Gevaudan
