Brunette
Language: French (Français) 
    — Ma fille, veux-tu un bouquet (bis)
    De marjolaine ou de muguet ? (bis)
      — Non, non, non, ma mère, non,
    Ce n’est point là ma maladie :
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai
Qui n’entend pas le bobo de sa fille ;
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai !
Qui n’entend pas le bobo que j’a !

    — Ma fille, veux-tu un bonnet (bis)
    De fine toile de Cambrai ? (bis)
      — Non, non, non, ma mère, non.
    Ce n’est point là ma maladie ;
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai
Qui n’entend pas le bobo de sa fille ;
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai
Qui n’entend pas le bobo que j’ai !

    — Ma fille, veux-tu un mari (bis)
    Qui soit bien fait, qui soit joli ? (bis)
      — Oui, oui, oui, ma mère, oui ;
    C’est bien là ma maladie,
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai !
Elle entend bien le bobo de sa fille ;
      Gai, gai, quelle mère j’ai !
Elle entend bien le bobo que j’ai !
