from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Les tisserands
Language: French (Français) 
Les tisserands sont pir' que les évèques:
Tous les lundis ils s'en font une fête.
Et tipe et tape et tipe et tape,
est-il trop gros, est-il trop fin.
Et couchés tard, levés matin.
En roulant la navette
le beau temps viendra.

Tous les lundis ils s'en font une fête.
Et le mardi ils ont mal à la tête.
Le mercredi ils vont charger leur pièce.
Et le jeudi ils vont voir leur maîtresse.
Le vendredi ils travaillent  sans cesse.
Le samedi la pièce n'est pas faite.
Et le dimanche il faut de l'argent maître.
