from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Qui veut ouïr chanson?
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Qui veut ouïr chanson,
Chansonnette jolie?
C’est d’un jeune garçon
Et d’une jeune fill’: Holà!
Refrain
   Oh! je le vois, le voici, le voilà;
   Oh! je le vois, le moulin qu’il va!

Qui s’avont fait l’amour,
C’est en jouant aux quilles.
La mèr’ à la fenêtre
Qui les écoutait dire: Holà!
Refrain

Qui est ce galant-là,
Qui caresse ma fille?
Je ne suis pas galant,
Je suis marchand de filles: Holà!
Refrain

J’ai trois bateaux sur mer
Chargés en marchandises;
L’un est chargé en or,
L’autre en argenterie: Holà!
Refrain

L’autre, il n’y a rien dedans,
C’est pour mener ma mie,
Mener et ramener
A Givry la jolie: Holà!
Refrain
