Puis çà, puis là
Language: French (Français)
Puis çà, puis là
Et sus et jus,
De plus en plus
Tout vient et va.
Tous on verra,
Grans et menus :
Puis çà, puis là
Et sus et jus.
Vieulx temps desjà
S'en sont courrus,
Et neufz venus,
Que dea, que dea,
Puis çà, puis là.

Now here, now there
Language: English after the French (Français)
Now here, now there,
Above, below,
Now more and more
Things come and go.
We'll see it all,
Both great and small,
Now here, now there,
Above, below.
Old times by now
Have run away,
New times have come,
Alack the day,
Now here, now there.
