La Bohémienne la main m'a pris
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
La Bohémienne la main m'a pris:
La vieille tzigane le sort m'a dit;
Elle m'a prédit: Ah regarde,
Enfant, prends garde!
 
C'est un méchant garçon,
C'est un méchant, un très méchant,
C'est un mauvais garçon,
C'est un mauvais, un très mauvais,
 
Un très très très très très très
Très très très très mauvais,
Méchant garçon.
