Lyrics
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte au gui l’an neuf
Elle avait fait, la veille
Merveille!
Un oeuf!
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte d’avoir fait
Du moins on le présume
Un rhume
Mauvais!
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte sur son oeuf
Et dans son beau costume
De plumes
Tout neuf!
La cane
De Jeanne
Ne laissant pas de veuf
C’est nous autres qui eûmes
Les plumes
Et l’oeuf!
Tous, toutes
Sans doute
Garderons longtemps le
Souvenir de la cane
De Jeanne
Morbleu!
Lyrics translation
The dog
Jeanne
Died in the mistletoe the year nine
She had done, the day before
Wonder!
An egg!
The dog
Jeanne
Died of having done
At least we assume it
Cold
Bad!
The dog
Jeanne
Died on her egg
And in her beautiful suit
Feather
Brand new!
The dog
Jeanne
Not leaving a widower
It was us who had
Feather
And the egg!
All, all
No doubt
Will keep the
Souvenir of the cane
Jeanne
Morbleu!
