2. Près la ville de Toba  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
                        Près la ville de Toba, 
                        vivait un jardinier 
                        cultivant des melons. 
                        Pour ne pas être volé, 
                        il les gardait la nuit, 
                        mais les nuits de garde
                 étaient longues et nombreuses. 
           Chaque nuit le jardinier était plus las.
                                    Un soir 
              sur un melon, en guise d'oreiller, 
                        il s'endormit 
                        pour les garder! 
                        Ah! ah! ah! 
                        ah! ah! ah!
