Checkmate - Quand Le Roy

guitar chords lyrics

The Box

Album : The Best Of new wave PlayStop

Once upon a time, and many miles away
Looking for adventure, travelling across the country
Four young men created an attraction

Telling pretty stories and playing an instument
Hey!
Ordinary people returning from the fields
Gathered on the place, a woodshed set aflame
Dancing all around, and headied by the wine
Striking up a song, everybody cheered...
And its
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy sen va-t-en guerre (When the king goes to war)
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer lor du peuple (To go spend [administer] the peoples gold)
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse légère (Our queen with the light thigh [wandering heart])
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'éternel cocu! (And the king who will be none the wiser!)
Watching from a distance, his Majesty the King

Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse légère (Our queen with the light thigh [wandering heart])
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'éternel cocu! (And the king who will be none the wiser!)
Watching from a distance, his Majesty the King
Wondering what it is that causes such a hubbub
Calls for an inquiry of what appears to be
A source of entertainment, a remedy to boredom
And the kings court emissary finally comes back
Troubled by the wine, stammers his report
Delighted by the news, his Majesty decides
The band will play tomorrow, for the court to entertain!
And its
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy sen va-t-en guerre
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer lor du peuple
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse légère
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'éternel cocu!
One ne revit plus jamais, notre quatuor errant (We never again saw the wanderers)
Mais la culture dun pays ne se meurt point facilement (But the culture of a country does not die easily)
Si vous allez donc un jour du côté de ce village (So if you go on that side of the village)
Vous endentrez surement entonner à forte voix... (Youll surely hear the echoing voice...)
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy sen va-t-en guerre
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer lor du peuple
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse légère
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'éternel...
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Quand le roy sen va-t-en guerre
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Administer lor du peuple
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! Notre reine a la cuisse légère
Hi-ho! Hi-ho! et le roy restera l'éternel cocu!
