from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Ah ! Si j'étais petite alouette grise
Language: French (Français) 
Ah ! si j'étais petite alouette grise,
J'y volerais sur les mâts de navire.
J'écouterais ce que les mariniers disent :
« Sire le roi, mariez votre fille. »
« Elle n'est pas pour toi, tu n'es pas assez riche. »
