by Léon-Paul Fargue (1876 - 1947)

Chanson du chat
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Il est une bebête
Ti Li petit nenfant
Tirelan
C'est une byronette
La beste à sa moman
Tirelan
Le peu Tinan faon
C'est un ti blanc-blanc
Un petit potasson?
C'est mon goret
C'est mon pourçon
Mon petit potasson.

Il saut' sur la fenêtre
Et groume du museau
Pasqu'il voit sur la crête
S'découper les oiseaux
Tirelo
Le petit n'en faut
C'est un ti bloblo
Un petit Potaçao
C'est mon goret
C'est mon pourceau
Mon petit potasseau.
