Lyrics

Now what can he want
 With a woman like her?
 Blacker than coal and low as dirt
 He could have the world
 But takes a peasant!
 Perhaps his brain was hurt!
 Look how she holds him
 And touches and attends him
 The believes
 She can make him well
 And she has him in a spell.
 You are my charm. Without you, I could never
 be whole again.
 I will never leave you, Daniel.
 
 Now, what do you make
 Of a peasant like her?
 Putting on airs without a doubt
 When the boy is well
 And does not need her
 How soon he'll throw her out.
 Soon, I'll be dancing!
 But for now, walk slowly, Daniel.
 The you must wlak even more slowly,
 Ti Moune.
 TWhy?
 So that I can catch you!
 Daniel!
 Papa.
 How long do you think
 You'll be playing this game?
 This is no game.
 Surely you can't believe it's real?
 I'm in love with Ti Moune!
 You are not the first
 To want a peasant
 I, too, know their appeal
 But you are my son
 You'll do what must be done
 No matter what you feel
 ♪
 I know what he sees
 In a peasant like her
 Probably makes him rise like yeast
 Well, the girl may think
 She's very clever
 The boy may keep her here forever
 But I can tell you this: They'll never
 Stand before a priest!
