Lyrics
Derrière chez nous y a un étang,
Trois beaux canards s’en vont baignant,
Le fils du roi s’en va chassant.
Ohé le vent, le joli vent,
Le vent du Nord m’appelle.
Ohé le vent, le joli vent,
Le vent du Nord, ma mie, m’attend.
Avec son grand fusil d’argent;
Vise à le noir, tua le blanc,
O fils du roi, tu es méchant.
D’avoir tué mon canard blanc.
Par-dessous l’aile il perd son sang.
Et par le bec l’or et l’argent.
Que ferons-nous de tant d’argent?
Nous mettrons les fill’s au couvent;
Et les garçons au régiment.
Lyrics translation
Behind us is a pond,
Three beautiful Ducks go swimming,
The King's son drives away.
Oh, the wind, the pretty wind,
The north wind is calling.
Oh, the wind, the pretty wind,
The north wind, my dear, is waiting for me.
With his big silver gun;
Aim at the black, kill the White,
O son of the king, you are evil.
For killing my white duck.
Under the wing he loses his blood.
And by the beak gold and silver.
What will we do with so much money?
We'll put the fill's in the convent;
And the boys to the regiment.
