Lyrics
La fille en coupant son pain s’est coupée dedans la main
Affolée en criant accourut chez l’pharmacien
Rendue chez le pharmacien, on cherchait un assassin
Qui venait de tuer le pharmacien dans un coin
Quand la fille est arrivée, on l’a d’abord soupçonnée
On lui a barré le chemin à cause du sang dans la main
Mais c’est en coupant mon pain que j’me suis coupée la main
Les voisins l'œil en coin, disaient: C’est pas bien malin
Elle a dit: Bande de crétins je vais vous faire voir le pain
Mais de pain y’en avait point, il était dans l’ventre du chien
Elle a rit et elle a geint, que pensez-vous qu’il advint
On l’a mise dans le moulin, elle sera pendue demain
Quand vous couperez le pain, ne vous coupez pas la main
Surtout si un assassin vient de tuer le pharmacien
Lyrics translation
The girl cutting her bread cut herself in the hand
Distraught screaming ran to the pharmacist
Went to the pharmacist, we were looking for an assassin
Who had just killed the pharmacist in a corner
When the girl arrived, she was first suspected
He was blocked because of the blood in his hand.
But it was by cutting my bread that I cut my hand
The neighbors with the corner eye, said: it's not very smart
She said, You morons I'll make you see the bread
But there was no bread, it was in the belly of the dog
She laughed and she groaned, What do you think happened
We put her in the mill, she'll be hanged tomorrow.
When you cut the bread, do not cut your hand
Especially if an assassin just killed the pharmacist
