Our translations: FRE

Tölgyes bucka, tövibe,
gyere pajtás izibe!
Tölgyes buckan iszalag,
táncolj, amig legény vagy!
 
Három kecske meg egy bak,
szökj fel pajtás, szökj fel csak!
Szöknék biz én jó nagyot,
de a lábam megbotlott.
 
Hopsza pajtás, pattanj fel!
A kecskét ki hajtja el?
Én bizony elhajtanám,
csak ne lesne farkas rám.

Danse des garçons

Language: French (Français) after the Hungarian (Magyar)

Derrière le chêne, derrière le charme,
viens, viens ici !
derrière le chêne et les bûches,
danse tant que tu es jeune !

Trois chèvres et un bouc
lève-toi, mon frère, saute !
Je voulais sauter
mais ma jambe a trébuché.

Allez, mon ami, lève-toi,
Qui va conduire mes chèvres ?
Je les conduirais,
si le loup ne me faisait pas peur.
