Chanson des servantes
Language: French (Français) after the Russian (Русский)
Belles jeunes filles, compagnes bien-aimées, jouez à cœur joie, divertissez-vous, petites âmes. Entonnez une chanson, votre meilleure chanson, attirez un beau garçon vers notre ronde ! Quand nous aurons attiré le beau garçon, dès que nous le verrons de loin, éparpillons-nous de tous côtés, et lapidons-le avec des cerises, des framboises et des groseilles rouges : Ne viens pas écouter nos jolies chansonnettes ; ne viens pas épier nos jeux de jeunes filles.
