Quant j'ai ouy la tabourin
Language: French (Français)
Quant j'ai ouy la tabourin Sonner, pour s'en aller au may, En mon lit n'en ay fait affray Ne levé mon chief du coissin; En disant: il est trop matin Ung peu je me rendormiray: Quant j' ay ouy le tabourin Sonner pour s'en aller au may, Jeunes gens partent leur butin; De nonchaloir m'accointeray A lui je m'abutineray Trouvé l'ay plus prouchain voisin; Quant j'ay ouy le tabourin Sonner pour s'en aller au may En mon lit n'en ay fait affray Ne levé mon chief du coissin.
