Lyrics

J’avais l’plus bel amandier
Du quartier
Et, pour la bouche gourmande
Des filles du monde entier
J' faisais pousser des amandes:
Le beau, le joli métier !
Un écureuil en jupon
Dans un bond
Vint me dir': «Je suis gourmande
Et mes lèvres sentent bon
Et, si tu m’donn’s une amande
J’te donne un baiser fripon !
— Grimpe aussi haut que tu veux
Que tu peux
Et tu croqu’s, et tu picores
Puis tu grignot’s, et puis tu
Redescends plus vite encore
Me donner le baiser dû !»
Quand la belle eut tout rongé
Tout mangé…
«Je te paierai, me dit-elle
A pleine bouche quand les
Nigauds seront pourvus d’ailes
Et que tu sauras voler !
«Mont' m’embrasser si tu veux
Si tu peux…
Mais dis-toi que, si tu tombes
J’n’aurai pas la larme à l’oeil
Dis-toi que, si tu succombes
Je n’porterai pas le deuil !»
Les avait, bien entendu
Toutes mordues
Tout’s grignoté's, mes amandes
Ma récolte était perdue
Mais sa joli' bouch' gourmande
En baisers m’a tout rendu !
Et la fête dura tant
Qu’le beau temps…
Mais vint l’automne, et la foudre
Et la pluie, et les autans
Ont changé mon arbre en poudre…
Et mon amour en mêm' temps !

Lyrics translation

I had the most beautiful almond tree
District
And, for the greedy mouth
Girls from all over the world
I was growing almonds:
The beautiful, the nice job !
A squirrel in a petticoat
In a leap
He came and said, " I'm greedy
And my lips smell good
And, if you give me an almond
I'll give you a dirty kiss !
- Climb as high as you want
That you can
And you chew, and you itch
Then you snack, and then you
Come down faster again
Give me the proper kiss !»
When the beauty had eaten everything
All eaten…
"I'll pay you," she said.
A full mouth when the
Niggers will be provided with wings
And you'll fly !
"Mount' kiss me if you want
If you can…
But tell yourself that if you fall
I won't have a tear in my eye
Tell yourself that if you succumb
I will not mourn !»
Had them, of course
All bitten
All's nibbled, my almonds
My harvest was lost
But its pretty' Mouch ' gourmande
In kisses gave me everything !
And the party lasted so long
That the good weather…
But autumn came, and lightning
And rain, and autans
Changed my tree to powder…
And my love in the same time !
