Un jeune moine est sorti du couvent
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Un jeune moine est sorti du convent,
A rencontré une nonnette au corps gent.
Se print a luy demander
S'elle vouloit brinbaler
Ou dancer le petit pas.
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez, moine!
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez pas.
He moine, moine, qu'apelez brinbaler?
Ma jeune dame, baiser & accoller
En nostre religion
Brinbaler nous apelons,
Cors à cors, nus en deux draps.
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez, moine!
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez pas.
Et moine, moine, que diront vos abéz?
Il sont déçeus tous voire très bien gabéz
En lieu de bien entonner
Vous faites le lict branler,
La reigle ne l'entend pas.
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez, moine!
   Vray dieu helas!
   Vous ne brinbalerez pas.
