by Gabriel Vicaire (1849 - 1900)

Dodo, dodinette
Language: French (Français) 
Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

La nuit est brune.
On entend le pipeau.
C’est dame Lune
Qui garde son troupeau.

Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

Ma petite âme,
Envole-roi gaiement.
On te réclame,
Là-bas, au firmament.

Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

Voici qu’on ouvre
La maison du bon Dieu.
Pars et découvre
Le nid de l’oiseau bleu.

Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

Vois dans les roses,
Au milieu du jardin,
Les moutons roses
Qui font dredin din din.

Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

Pour toi, mon ange,
C’est fête en Paradis.
Chacun se range
Devant tes yeux hardis.

Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !

Jésus t’ordonne
De venir l’embrasser,
Et la madone
A voulu te bercer.
 
Dodo, dodinette,
Dors, marionnette !
