about
(trad. Breton)
A traditional song from the village of Paimpont in eastern Brittany that recounts an encounter between young women and an abusive priest. It is a story that very much still resonates in the #MeToo era. 'Les filles des forges' can be sung for the traditional Breton dance known as the ridée 6 temps.
lyrics
Les Filles des forges
(*English translation further below)
1. Digue, ding don, don, ce sont les filles des forges
Des forges de Paimpont, digue ding dondaine
Des forges de Paimpont, dingue ding dondon
2. Digue, ding don, don, elles s'en vont à confesse
Au curé du canton, digue ding dondaine
Au curé du canton, dingue ding dondon
3. Digue, ding don, don, qu'avions-vous fait les filles
Pour demander pardon, digue ding dondaine
Pour demander pardon, dingue ding dondon
4. Digue, ding don, don, j'avions couru les bals
Et les jolis garçons, digue ding dondaine
Et les jolis garçons, dingue ding dondon
5. Digue, ding don, don, ma fille pour pénitence
Nous nous embrasserons, digue ding dondaine
Nous nous embrasserons, dingue ding dondon
6. Digue, ding don, don, je n'embrasse point les prêtres
Mais les jolis garçons, digue ding dondaine
Qu'ont du poil au menton, dingue ding dondon

To the parish priest, digue ding dondaine

I feel like in some ways this is a culmination point to which a lot of Tim's work has been headed for a long time - this album is... I can't find sufficient adjectives. So, so great. And absolutely evergreen. I've given it close to 20 listens now in less than two weeks and I only love it more every time. PipingJim
