I need someone to translate french for me

[donjuan]

Hi, this is for all you people who speak french.  Can you translate these sentences for me?

1.
Me permettez - vous pas, ma belle demoiselle
Qu'on vous offre le bras, pour aller le chemin?

----------------------
2.
Non, Monsieur, je ne suis demoiselle, ni belle
Et je n'ai pas besoin, qu'on me donne le bras.

It's from Gounod's Faust.  Faust asks Marguerite a question and she answers.  I would like to know what it all means because these sentences appear in the sheetmusic of Liszt's transcription of the Waltz from the Opera.

Please help,
Orien

No French speaking pianists out there? So, I will have a go:

1.
Me permettez - vous pas, ma belle demoiselle

Will you not allow me, my beautiful maiden

Qu'on vous offre le bras, pour aller le chemin?

To offer you my arm, to walk the path?
----------------------
2.
Non, Monsieur, je ne suis demoiselle, ni belle

No, Sir, I am not a maiden, neither am I beautiful.

Et je n'ai pas besoin, qu'on me donne le bras.

And I don’t need that you give me your arm.


Something like that. (Quelque chose comme ça)

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Yes, the translation is as accurate as it gets!

[pianonut]

whew!  that one really scared me before i understood the translation.  i was thinking something totally different and i thought her response was "no, sir, i don't think so.  try the mannquin in the window."

Exactly right, Bernhard, as always!
