Pilons l'orge pilons l'orge,
pilons l'orge, pilons la.
Mon père m'y maria
pilons l'orge pilons la.
à un vilain m'y donna,
tirez vous ci, tirez vous la.
A un vilain m'y donna,
qui de rien ne me donna.
Mais s'il continue cela
battu vraiment il sera.

Grind the barley
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Grind the barley, grind the barley,
Grind the barley there.
My father made me get married,
Grind the barley, grind the barley,
He gave me to some churl,
Pull this way, pull that way.
He gave me to some churl
Who never gave me anything.
But if he keeps it up,
He's really going to get a beating!
