Gainsbourg's Manon is typically a cynical love song. Manon Manon Non tu ne sais sur'ment pas Manon A quel point je hais Ce que tu es Sinon Manon Je t'aurais déjà perdue Manon Perverse Manon Perfide Manon Il me faut t'aimer avec un autre Je le sais Manon Cruelle Manon Manon Manon Non tu ne sauras jamais Manon A quel point je hais Ce que tu es Au fond Manon Je dois avoir perdu la raison Je t'aime Manon |

Jacques Brel- Mathilde
I love how you can tell by the end of the song that the character has lost rational thought due to this woman. Here are the English lyrics, as sung by Scott Walker: Mama, do you see what I see On your knees and pray for me Mathilde's come back to me Charley, don't want another beer Tonight I'm gonna drink my tears Mathilde's come back to me Go ask the maid if she heard what I said Tell her to change the sheets on the bed Mathilde's come back to me Fellas, don't leave me tonight Tonight I'm going back to fight Wretched Mathilde's in sight My heart, my heart, stop beating so Just make as if you didn't know That Mathilde's come back to me My heart, I don't want you to say She's lovelier than when she went away Mathilde, whols come back to me My heart, stop being overjoyed Remember you were once destroyed By Mathilde, who's come back to me Fellas, please don't go away Tell me that I mustn't stay Mathilde's coming back today My hands, you'll start to shake again When you remember all the pain Mathilde's come back to me You'll want to beat her black and blue But don't do it, I beg of you Mathilde's come back to me My hands, remember all the years Remember when you caught my tears Mathilde's come back to me My hands, you'll want to touch her now But please try and be strong somehow Mathilde's here, she's coming now, now Mama, can you hear me yell Your baby boy's gone back to hell Mathilde's come back to me Charley, champagne right away I know you've been saving it for the holiday But Mathilde's come back to me Go ask the maid if she heard what I said Tell her to put the best sheets on the bed Mathilde's come back to me My friends, don't count on me no more I've gone and crashed through heaven's door My sweet Mathilde's here Once more, once more |
