Mon Maquis- Interperation

[riva2model64]

Bird and I were in the chatroom the other day and were perplexed as to understanding the literal meaning of Mon Maquis.

In particular, what is this "maquis" she keeps referring too. According to dictionary.com, maquis translated from french to english is "maquis" and means: "a guerrilla fighter in the French underground in World War II" and also means: "the French underground that fought against the German occupation in World War II"

she must refer to maquis as some sort of guardian, perhaps a place of refuge; "also impenetrable" and "it's my maq. . my bed"

this maquis apparently is also "It's an inextricable labyrinth
Of laughs, also of shouts" and it's a glass footpath as well

C'est un dédale inextricable,
Impénétrable aussi
C'est mon Maq... mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un refuge, chambre sans vue
Où l'air est pur, si pur
Est mon Maq... mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un dédale inextricable
De rires, d'éclats aussi
C'est mon Maq... ici :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un repaire, sûr comme un père
Sentiers secrets, sentiers de verre,
Petit frère... c'est... aussi
Ta chambre et ton maquis


C'est un dédale inextricable
Impénétrable aussi
C'est mon Maq... mon lit :
C'est mon maquis

C'est un jardin, dont le chemin
Est bien le sien aussi
C'est mon Maq... ici
C'est son maquis

Partager tout, parler de tout
Et protéger aussi
C'est mon Maq, ici
C'est son maquis

Chambre cachette, chambre avec couette
De pirouettes en marionnettes
Petit frère, toi ici
Moi, je suis ton amie.



It is an inextricable labyrinth
Also impenetrable
It's my Maq... my bed:
It's my maquis
It's a shelter, room without a view
Where the air is clean, so clean
It's my Maq... my bed:
It's my maquis

It's an inextricable labyrinth
Of laughs, also of shouts
It's my Maq... here
It's my maquis

It's a lair, sure as a father
Secret footpath, glass footpath
Little brother... it's... also
Your room and your maquis

It's an inextricable labyrinth
Also impenetrable
It's my Maq... my bed:
It's my maquis

It's a garden, which's path
Is as well his
It's my Maq... here
It's my maquis

Share everything, talk about everything
Also to protect
It's my Maq... here
It's his maquis

Hidden room, with feather bed
Pirouettes by marionettes
Little brother, you here
Me, I'm your friend
