Our translations: ENG
Trois petits pâtés, ma chemise brûle. Monsieur le curé n'aime pas les os. Ma cousine est blonde, elle a nom Ursule, Que n'émigrons-nous vers les Palaiseaux. Ma cousine est blonde, elle a nom Ursule, On dirait d'un cher glaïeul sur les eaux Vivent le muguet et la campanule! Dodo, l'enfant do, chantez, doux fuseaux. Que n'émigrons-nous vers les Palaiseaux. Trois petits pâtés, un point et virgule; On dirait d'un cher glaïeul sur les eaux; Vivent le muguet et la campanule. Trois petits pâtés, un point et virgule; Dodo, l'enfant do, chantez, doux fuseaux. La libellule erre parmi des roseaux. Monsieur le Curé, ma chemise brûle.
