Lyrics
Il était un petit homme à cheval sur un bâton
Il s’en allait à la chasse, à la chasse aux hannetons
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Il s’en allait à la chasse, à la chasse aux hannetons
Arrivé sur la montagne il partit un coup d’canon
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Arrivé sur la montagne il partit un coup d’canon,
Il en eut si peur madame, qu’il t’on va sur les talons,
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Il en eut si peur madame, qu’il t’on va sur les talons,
Toutes les dames du village lui portèrent des bonbons
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Toutes les dames du village lui portèrent des bonbons
Je vous remercie, Mesdames, de vous êtes de bon bonbons
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Je vous remercie, Mesdames, de vous êtes de bon bonbons
Quand vous passerez par la ville n’oubliez pas ma maison
Et titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, ti ton ton.
Lyrics translation
He was a little man riding on a stick
He was going hunting, hunting hannetons
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
He was going hunting, hunting hannetons
Arrived on the mountain he set off a cannon shot
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
Arrived on the mountain he set off a cannon shot,
He was so afraid of it, Ma'am, that you're on your heels.,
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
He was so afraid of it, Ma'am, that you're on your heels.,
All the ladies of the village brought him sweets
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
All the ladies of the village brought him sweets
Thank you, ladies, for you are good sweets
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
Thank you, ladies, for you are good sweets
When you pass through the city don't forget my house
And titon taine, titon taine,
Titon taine, keep your tone.
