Quant j'ai ouy la tabourin Sonner, pour s'en aler au may, En mon lit n'en ay fait effray Ne levé mon chief du coissin ; En disant : il est trop matin, Ung peu je me rendormiray : Quant j'ay ouy le tabourin Sonner, pour s'en aler au may. Jeunes gens partent leur butin ; De Nonchaloir m'accointeray : A lui je m'abutineray, Trouvé l'ay plus prouchain voisin : Quant j'ay ouy le tabourin.

Kun kuulen tamburiinin soivan kutsua kevättä viettämään, en anna sen häiritä itseäni, enkä nosta päätäni tyynyltä, vaan sanon: ”on liian aikaista, taidan nukkua vielä hiukan.” Kun kuulen tamburiinin soivan kutsua kevättä viettämään, nuoret miehet lähtevät tyttöjensä luo; en ole kiinnostunut siitä, joka seuraani pyrkii, löydän kyllä mukavamman kumppanin Kun kuulen tamburiinin.
