Lyrics
J’ai descendu dans mon jardin,
J’ai descendu dans mon jardin,
Pour y cueillir le romarin.
Gentil coq’licot, Mesdames,
Gentil coq’licot nouveau.
Gentil coq’licot, Mesdames,
Gentil coq’licot nouveau.
J’en avais pas cueilli trois brins,
J’en avais pas cueilli trois brins,
Qu’un rossignol vint sur ma main.
Il me dit trois mots en latin,
Il me dit trois mots en latin,
Que les filles ne valent rien.
Que les filles ne valent rien,
Que les filles ne valent rien,
Et les garçons encore bien moins.
Des dames, il ne me dit rien,
Des dames, il ne me dit rien,
Des demoiselles beaucoup de bien.
Lyrics translation
I went down to my garden,
I went down to my garden,
To pick Rosemary.
Dear Rooster, ladies,
Nice new lycot cock.
Dear Rooster, ladies,
Nice new lycot cock.
I didn't pick three sprigs.,
I didn't pick three sprigs.,
That a Nightingale came on my hand.
He tells me three words in latin,
He tells me three words in latin,
That girls are worthless.
That girls are worth nothing,
That girls are worth nothing,
And the boys still much less.
Ladies, he doesn't tell me anything. ,
Ladies, he doesn't tell me anything. ,
Very good ladies.
