by Jacques Roques (d. 1921)

Bengali
Language: French (Français) 
Moi avoir vu beau Français blanc
Près de lianes,
Moi senti grand coup dans le sang
Sous les bananes,
Hi ! hi ! hi ! hi ! hi !
Vole bengali !

Moi aimer beau Français tout blanc
Près de lianes,
Moi pour lui donner tout mon sang
Sous les bananes,
Hi ! hi ! hi ! hi ! hi !
Chante bengali !

Mais parti beau Français tout blanc
Près de lianes,
Moi m'en vais verser tout mon sang
Sous les bananes.
Hi ! hi ! hi ! hi ! hi !
Pleure bengali !
