from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

La mie du voleur
Language: French (Français) 
Je m' suis levée un beau matin,
La ta déritou, la la la la!
La fraîche matinée!
Suis descendue en mon jardin
Ceuillir la giroflée,
Allons, ma mignonnette, allons, etc.

N'en ai pas eu cueilli trois brins,
La ta déritou, la la la la!
Ma mere m'a appelée.
Venez ici, la Marion,
Vous serez mariée.
Allons, ma mignonnette, allons, etc.

Votre papa veut vous donner,
La ta déritou, la la la la!
A un porteur d'epée.
Non, non, papa, je n'en veux pas,
De ce porteur d'epée.
Allons, ma mignonnette, allons, etc.

Non, non, papa, je n'en veux pas,
La ta déritou, la la la la!
De ce porteur d'epée.
Je m'aime mieux un laid voleur
Que ce porteur d'epée.
Allons, ma mignonnette, allons, etc.
