In this song Brassens reaffirms his non-conformism and expresses the idea that real love does not need the institution of marriage to flourish and still remain faithful to his partner.This is the most beautiful real declaration of love.❤
This song is addressed to his "wife" who technically was never his wife but "his eternal fiancée" as this song says. They didn't even live together although they went on vacation together, she was the woman of his life until his death.
Georges Brassens ! A kind of educated anarchist, a working class gentleman, a noble heart. His songs were prohibited on the radio at his beginnings, not suitable for normal bourgeois people, although the lyrics were very rarely offensive and used classical french poetry forms. That gave even more strength to his protest songs, fighting against social hypocrisy.
One of the best friends of Brassens was Raymond Devos. You really should discover "où courent-ils" et "qui tuer". The man plays with the French langage like nobody else.

Such an absoluty beautiful love song. Indeed, marriage is far too often a love killer. In real life, Georges Brassens lived, not even at the same address, unmarried with the love of his life, surnamed "Püppchen", his Estonian muse.
Un des chanteurs Français que j'ai entendu le plus via mes parents ♥ Un homme qui t'élève l'âme. (En avance sur son temps, il s'était mi les mégères et "bien pensants" à dos.)
Brassens had had no interest in school which he left as soon as possible to do little jobs. On the other hand he developed a passion for the French language and began to develop his vocabulary with medieval poets and many, many readings. So Brassens' poetry includes figures of speech, metaphors, slang, rare or sustained language, mythological references, etc. Not easy to understand indeed, you did good!
I saw some of your videos a while ago but I just discovered you speak french, and quite good. To be honest, this song is in old french and full of poetry so it is not easy to understand even for a french spearker. But he is one of my favourite singer from that time. I would recommend to listen to more of his song ("Les funérailles", "Gare au gorille", "Le parapluie", "La mauvaise réputation", "Le vieux léon", ....)
Je m'suis fait tout petit Un petit coin de paradis Saturne J'ai rendez-vous avec vous and La non demande en mariage of course, all these songs are dedicated to Joha Heiman, the woman who was his fiancée from 1944 to his death. They never lived in the same house, but they share the same grave at the Py cemetery (the cemetery of the poors) in Sète.
This song is surprisingly modern, considering the epoch he sang it. Brassens was an anarchist who describes himself as "using pedestrian crossing only to not having to deal with a cop"...
Brassens and Brel the two Kings of francophone songs. Georges was an half Italian, by his Mother. He was a so talented man. On bass the man played with him all his carreer. I can't remember his name. French is the most beautiful language of the universe.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello my friend, here are the Lyrics, in french of course ! ☺ Ma mie de grâce ne mettons Pas sous la gorge à Cupidon Sa propre flèche Tant d'amoureux l'ont essayé Qui, de leur bonheur, ont payé Ce sacrilège J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin Laissons le champs libre à l'oiseau Nous serons tous les deux prisonniers sur parole Au diable les maîtresses queux Qui attachent les cœurs aux queues Des casseroles J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin Vénus se fait vielle souvent Elle perd son latin devant La lèchefrite A aucun prix, moi je ne veux Effeuiller dans le pot-au-feu La marguerite J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin On leur ôte bien des attraits En dévoilant trop les secrets De Mélusine L'encre des billets doux pâlit Vite entre les feuillets des livres de cuisine J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin Il peut sembler de tout repos De mettre à l'ombre, au fond d'un pot De confiture La jolie pomme défendue Mais elle est cuite, elle a perdu Son goût nature J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin De servante n'ai pas besoin Et du ménage et de ses soins Je te dispense Qu'en éternelle fiancé A la dame de mes pensées Toujours je pense J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te demander ta main Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
Brassens often refers to mythological characters. There are 3 in this song. Cupidon : god of love Venus : goddess of beauty and love Melusine : many different sources with different meanings. Here it could be the one who is half fairy half human, she has to keep that secret in her love stories.
Between the pronunciation of words cut into syllables, typical of Brassens, and certain terms which are sometimes a little outdated or specific, difficult for an American to doesn't lose his Latin (« en perdre son latin » - "to lose one's Latin" - is a typically French expression which means "to lack the means to overcome something").😋😊
I think this is my favorite song by Georges Brassens. With Les copains d'abord. Et l'Auvergnat. And... 😊 But his songs must be very very difficult to understand to non-french native speakers because of the way he cuts words, and some of his vocabulary.
Cher ami américain, tu as compris le sens de cette chanson pourtant trés complexe dans les mots et la rythmique verbale de Georges Brassens. Si je peux me permettre de te conseiller, la plus belle chanson d'amour (désespéré) de Georges s'appelle "Les passantes" et sa plus belle chanson sur la mort 'au second degré) s'appelle "Onclie Archibald". Le grand Georges était un poète de l'ancien temps et j'ai pleuré quand il est mort. Ah oui, comme toi je suis un fan du Palmashow et je ris encore plus qy=uand je te vosi rire de cet humour. Si tu viens en France, dis le moi, je t'héberge en Périgord, la plus belle région ... Merci l'ami.
@@brunomarty5528 Les Passantes est en fait un poème d'Antoine Pol, que Brassens a mis en musique (et fait connaître, du coup). Mais je suis d'accord que c'est une des plus belles chansons de Brassens (et ma préférée). Une autre très belle chanson est la Messe au pendu, contre la peine de mort.
fois* there is an "S" because foi without "s" means faith... do you see the difference... it would mean something else, that's why good writing is important!!!
Beloved, for mercy’s sake, let us Not load, beneath Cupid’s chin His own arrow, So many lovers have tried Who have paid with their lost joys for This sacrilege… I have the honour Not to ask your hand in marriage Let’s not inscribe Our names at the end Of some parchment Let’s leave a free hand to the fellow (Cupid) We will both of us be two pris .. oners on parole Devil take the cook-mistresses Who pin their hearts to handles Of pots and pans. I have the honour Not to ask your hand in marriage Let’s not inscribe Our names at the end Of some parchment Venus often makes herself old She loses her latin faced by The frying pan. At no price would I ever wish To tell off daisy petals in The pot of stew. I have the honour Not to ask your hand in marriage Let’s not inscribe Our names at the end Of some parchment. It might seem to be nice and snug To put, out of view, at the bottom of A jar of jam The tasty forbidden apple But it is cooked, it has quite lost Its fresh picked taste. I have the honour Not to ask your hand in marriage Let’s not inscribe Our names at the end Of some parchment. You remove so much of the charms By revealing too many secrets Of Melusine.

Of servant I have no need And from housekeeping and its tasks I set you free So as eternal fiancée Of you, lady of my thoughts, I think always. I have the honour Not to ask your hand in marriage Let’s not inscribe Our names at the end Of some parchment.
For the 80s Francophone songs you should listen "Tropique" From Muriel Dacq and "Là où ça ???" from Muriel Dacq too ( I sayed Francophone because Muriel Dacq is a Belgian singer who sing in French soooooo...)
Even for a French person, Brassens' lyrics can be difficult to understand. It often refers to ancient (Greek or Roman) gods and goddesses. You have to have a classical culture that you learned in school a long time ago.
The sense of the song escapes you a little bit. People who are together for a long time and then get married do not change their routine. Her Georges Brassens' song is about really being eternally fiancé, ans not having this role of wife and husband with the stereotypical aspect. Plus the song is full of references that you do not explain. Vénus, la lechefrite, etc.
Erreur « on ne peut p’u funeste » (pour paraphraser le poète , ambre . Vous seriez surprise en apprenant que beaucoup de jeunes écoutent et admirent Brassens sans doute grace à l’ étude de ses textes bien tournés à l’école .

Georges Brassens is a great poet he's brilliant ! Many of his songs were not allowed on French radio but we could by his records in shops, so we did !
Un monument de la culture française ! Merciii ❤😎🎸❤

You really caught the meaning of the song, i love your brain ! 😉

translate: Lyrics of the song La Non Demande En Mariage by Georges Brassens
My dear, please, let's not put
his own arrow under Cupid's throat.
So many lovers have tried it
who paid for this sacrilege with their happiness.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let's not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.
Let's give the bird free rein,
we'll both be prisoners on parole.
To hell with the mistresses
who attach hearts to the tails
of saucepans.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let's not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.
Venus often gets old
she loses her Latin in front of
the frying pan.
At no cost, I do not want
to pluck the daisy in the stew.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let us not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.
We take away many of their charms
by revealing too many of Mélusine's secrets.
The ink of love letters quickly fades
between the pages of cookbooks.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let us not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.
It may seem quite restful
to put the pretty forbidden apple in the shade at the bottom
of a jam jar,
but it is cooked, it has lost
its natural taste.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let us not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.
I don't need a servant
and the housework and its care,
I dispense you
that as an eternal fiancée,
to the lady of my thoughts,
I always think.
I have the honor of
not asking for your hand.
Let's not engrave
our names at the bottom
of a parchment.

Hello my friend, here are the Lyrics, in french of course ! ☺
Ma mie de grâce ne mettons
Pas sous la gorge à Cupidon
Sa propre flèche
Tant d'amoureux l'ont essayé
Qui, de leur bonheur, ont payé
Ce sacrilège
J'ai l'honneur de Ne pas te
demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
Laissons le champs libre à l'oiseau
Nous serons tous les deux prisonniers sur parole
Au diable les maîtresses queux
Qui attachent les cœurs aux queues
Des casseroles
J'ai l'honneur de
Ne pas te demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
Vénus se fait vielle souvent
Elle perd son latin devant
La lèchefrite
A aucun prix, moi je ne veux
Effeuiller dans le pot-au-feu
La marguerite
J'ai l'honneur de
Ne pas te demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
On leur ôte bien des attraits
En dévoilant trop les secrets
De Mélusine
L'encre des billets doux pâlit
Vite entre les feuillets des livres de cuisine
J'ai l'honneur de
Ne pas te demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
Il peut sembler de tout repos
De mettre à l'ombre, au fond d'un pot
De confiture
La jolie pomme défendue
Mais elle est cuite, elle a perdu
Son goût nature
J'ai l'honneur de
Ne pas te demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin
De servante n'ai pas besoin
Et du ménage et de ses soins
Je te dispense
Qu'en éternelle fiancé
A la dame de mes pensées
Toujours je pense
J'ai l'honneur de
Ne pas te demander ta main
Ne gravons pas nos noms au bas d'un parchemin

Beloved, for mercy’s sake, let us
Not load, beneath Cupid’s chin
His own arrow, So many lovers have tried Who have paid with their lost joys for
This sacrilege…
I have the honour
Not to ask your hand in marriage
Let’s not inscribe
Our names at the end
Of some parchment
Let’s leave a free hand to the fellow (Cupid)
We will both of us be two pris ..
oners on parole
Devil take the cook-mistresses
Who pin their hearts to handles
Of pots and pans.
I have the honour
Not to ask your hand in marriage
Let’s not inscribe
Our names at the end
Of some parchment
Venus often makes herself old
She loses her latin faced by
The frying pan.
At no price would I ever wish
To tell off daisy petals in
The pot of stew.
I have the honour
Not to ask your hand in marriage
Let’s not inscribe
Our names at the end
Of some parchment.
It might seem to be nice and snug
To put, out of view, at the bottom of
A jar of jam
The tasty forbidden apple
But it is cooked, it has quite lost
Its fresh picked taste.
I have the honour
Not to ask your hand in marriage
Let’s not inscribe
Our names at the end
Of some parchment.
You remove so much of the charms
By revealing too many secrets
Of Melusine.
The ink of billets doux fades
Fast in between the pages of
Cookery books.
I have the honour
Not to ask your hand in marriage
Let’s not inscribe
Our names at the end
Of some parchment.
Of servant I have no need
And from housekeeping and its tasks
I set you free
So as eternal fiancée
Of you, lady of my thoughts,
