Lyrics
La robe qu’on laisse tomber
La nuit dans la forêt,
La robe qu’on laisse tomber
Revient seule au village.
Elle frappe à la porte,
La porte des parents.
«Ouvrez, ouvrez, dit-elle,
Pour sauver votre enfant …
Pour sauver votre enfant !»
«Retourne», lui dit la mère,
«Retourne d’où tu viens !
«Quand j’avais dix-huit ans,
«J'en faisais tout autant !
«Quand j’avais dix-huit ans,
J’en faisais tout autant.
«Ah ! Tra la la la la,
«Tra la la la la
«J'en faisais tout autant !»
Lyrics translation
The dress we drop
Night in the forest,
The dress we drop
Go back to the village alone.
She knocks on the door,
The parents ' door.
"Open, Open," she says,
To save your child …
To save your child !»
"Turn around," says the mother,
"Go back to where you came from !
"When I was eighteen,
"I was doing the same !
"When I was eighteen,
I used to do the same.
"Ah ! Tra la la la la,
"Between la la la la
"I was doing the same !»
