Vendéen mon fils
Margaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chanter sur la haie des aubiers
Sans que ta fronde lui brise la tête
Sans que tu n′aies pas de pitié
Si tu peux voir un toit d' église
Depuis longtemps désenchanté
Et qu′ il y ait sous ta chemise
L'envie de le réssusciter
Par notre Roi, par nos Abbés
Tu porteras la fleur de lys
Et la croix des Saints Baptisés
Tu seras Vendéen mon fils
Aussi vrai que la terre est née
De courage et de sacrifice
De patience et de volonté
Si tu peux voir pleurer un homme
Au milieu de ses champs brulés
Et que ta voix lui dise pardonne
Ce qui n'est plus à pardonner
Si tu peux voir tes ennemis
Devant le mur des fusillés
Et laisser tomber ton fusil
Sans jamais pouvoir oublier
Tu seras Vendéen mon fils
Par notre Roi, et nos Abbés
Tu porteras la fleur de lys
Et la croix des Saints Baptisés
Tu seras Vendéen mon fils
Aussi vrai que la terre est née
De courage et de sacrifice
De patience et de volonté
Si tu peux voir mourir ta mère
Partir le corps qui t′a porté
Et que tu aies dans tes prières
Le souvenir du verbe aimer
Tu seras Vendéen mon fils
Vendéen mon fils
The lyrics of "Vendéen mon fils" by Margaux depict the values and ideals of a Vendéen, which refers to a person from the region of Vendée in western France. The song emphasizes the pride and identity associated with being a Vendéen by highlighting the unique characteristics and historical context of the region.
The first verse discusses the importance of showing compassion and mercy even in the face of conflict. It describes how a true Vendéen is someone who can observe a lark singing on a hedge without harming it and who possesses the desire to revive a long-deserted church, symbolizing a commitment to preserving traditions and heritage.
The second verse portrays the resilience and forgiving nature of a Vendéen. It speaks of seeing a man weeping amid his burnt fields and being able to offer forgiveness for the unforgivable. It also suggests the ability to witness the execution of one's enemies and yet dropping one's weapon without ever forgetting the experience, reflecting a capacity for empathy and a commitment to peace.
The final verse addresses the deep emotional connection to one's mother and the power of love. It suggests that a Vendéen will be someone who can watch their mother pass away, honor her in their prayers, and be guided by the memory of the verb "to love."
