Lyrics

Bolibambour mon frère,
Où vas-tu si blond?
Comme un veau aveugle,
Quatre poils au menton
Je vais à la guerre,
La guerre au bourdon,
Et comme un tambour,
Bara bana nais.
Barabanne rigolais,
Robinet robiquet lariquette,
Barabanne rigodon.
Hirondelle, ma sœur,
Où va tu si noire?
Dans la nuit profonde,
Te perdra ce soir.
Je ne vois plus l’heure
Au cadran solaire,
Ouvre ta demeure,
Si tu veux me plaire.
Vole, vole, rigolais,
Robinet robiquet lariquette,
Vole, vole, rigodon.

Lyrics translation

Bolibambour my brother,
Where Are you going, blonde?
Like a blind calf,
Four hairs on the chin
I'm going to war,
The war on the Bumblebee,
And like a drum,
Bara Bana nais.
Barabanne rigolais,
Robiquet lariquette faucet,
Barabanne rigodon.
Swallow, my sister,
Where Are you going, black?
In the deep night,
He'll lose you tonight.
I can't see the time anymore
To the sundial,
Open your home,
If you want to please me.
Fly, fly, laugh,
Robiquet lariquette faucet,
Fly, fly, rigodon.
