by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

La Bohémienne
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Je suis une jeune bohémienne,
Bohémienne pas commune,
Car je sais dire la bonne aventure,
Mets dans ma main, dans ma menotte
Des piécettes bien sonnantes.

Et je dévoile la bonne étoile.
Bonne ou mauvaise
Je te dévoile ton étoile.
S'il t'arrive quelque aventure
Ou si le chagrin t'oppresse
Fais-moi quérir
J'ai mille remèdes.

Et je te tire ma révérence.
Mon tourtereau joli et tendre
Car le temps presse et je me sauve
Et je me sauve.
