by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz (1878 - 1947)

Chanson
Language: French (Français) 
Les petites filles rondent,
robes rouges, jupons blancs.
C'est dimanche, il fait beau temps.
Laquelle prendrez-vous de ces belles demoiselles,
Lequel prendrez-vous de ces beaux petits messieurs?
Les petites filles rondent sur la place du village.
Robes blanches, jupons bleus.
La plus belle du rond qui s'appelle Marion.
Les petites filles rondent, robes grises, jupons gris,
et la lune leur sourit.
