The song tells a story about soldiers flirting with a sweet young waitress in a country beer joint. It was one of the most popular songs in France during World War I and became a patriotic song as the war wore on. It remains a patriotic, well-known song in France to this day. Aliette added \u2018La Madelon\u2019 into Les Troubadours\u2019 regular repertoire, and the song soon became an audience favorite due to its catchy melody and interesting narrative.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-105-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/Waitress-at-the-beer-joint.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/Waitress-at-the-beer-joint.mp3\">http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/Waitress-at-the-beer-joint.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><strong>Lyrics :\u00a0La Madelon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>French :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quand Madelon<br \/>\nvient nous servir \u00e0 boire<br \/>\nSous la tonnelle<br \/>\non fr\u00f4le son jupon<br \/>\nEt chacun<br \/>\nlui raconte une histoire<br \/>\nUne histoire \u00e0 sa fa\u00e7on<\/p>\n<p>La Madelon<br \/>\npour nous n&#8217;est pas s\u00e9v\u00e8re<br \/>\nQuand on lui prend<br \/>\nla taille ou le menton<br \/>\nElle rit,<br \/>\nc&#8217;est tout le mal qu&#8217;elle sait faire<br \/>\nMadelon, Madelon, Madelon\u00a0!<\/p>\n<p><strong>English :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Madelon,<br \/>\nComes to serve us a beer<br \/>\nUnder the table,<br \/>\nWe played with her skirt.<br \/>\nAnd everyone<br \/>\nTells her a story<br \/>\nIn his or her own way<\/p>\n<p>Madelon,<br \/>\nNothing is that serious<br \/>\nWhen we grab her<br \/>\nwaist or her chin<br \/>\nShe laughs,<br \/>\nHer laughter is all the harm that she can do!<br \/>\nMadelon, Madelon, Madelon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"column-right\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1275\" height=\"1650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics.png 1275w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics-232x300.png 232w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics-768x994.png 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/memorythroughsong\/files\/2017\/04\/La-Madelon_w-lyrics-791x1024.png 791w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1275px) 100vw, 1275px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-105\" data-postid=\"105\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-105 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Madelon is a popular song of World War I originally from France.
