This song is sung by three young girls, les Filles du Roi, who have been sent from France by the King to find husbands and help populate New France.
Anne is over the top excited about her new adventure and can’t wait to get married and have children.
Denise, while excited about the adventure, is terrified of men and their beards and specifically making, delivering, and taking care of babies.
Marie feels she has made the biggest mistake of her life and her fear of the unknown has paralyzed her. All she wants to do is go home.
