Lyrics
1 — Jean l’autre soir montant son escalier
Trouva sa femme étendue sur l’palier
Voisins: ohé
Ma femme est morte
Venez, venez vite, venez vit' la chercher
Sans quoi j’la fous derrièr' la porte
Car c'était elle qui faisait le tapage à la maison
Maintenant: la poison ! elle est morte !
Ell' ne mettra plus de l’eau dans mon verre
Car maintenant la poison elle est morte !
2 — Jean bien saoulé montant son escalier
Crut voir sa femme étendue sur l’palier
Parlé: Messieurs du guet ! Réponse: qui va là?
Ma femme est morte
Montez montez vite la ramasser
Sans quoi je la flanque derrière la porte,
3 -Puis Jean gueulant réveilla ses voisins
Fit tant de potin qu’il vit lever Martin
Parlé: Ohé Martin — Réponse: quoi qui n’ya?
Ma femme est morte
Je vous paie la goutte à tous demain matin
Si vous venez lui faire escorte
4 — Puis moult oignons Jean s’en fut acheter
Pour qu’en son deuil on le vit bien pleurer
Parlé: Ohé ! fruitier — Réponse: voilà ! voilà !
Ma femme est morte
Donnez donnez vite des oignons bien dorés
Pour que je la pleure en la sorte
5 — Puis Jean s’en fut réveiller le cure
Qui ronflait fort sous son bonnet carré
Parlé: Monsieur le Curé ! Réponse: Nom de Dieu qu’est-ce qui ya?
Ma femme est morte
Venez venez vite lui dire vos oraisons
Et puis le diable l’emporte
6 — Puis Jean s’en fut trouver le fossoyeur
Qui dans une fosse dormait à la fraîcheur
Parlé: Ohé ! fossier !
Ma femme est morte
Creusez, creusez vite, un trou, large et profond
Afin que la garce n’en sorte
7 — Auprès de sa femme Jean était retourné
Mais la sale bête était ressuscitée
Parlé: Eh ! Mais ! Aglaée — Réponse: quoi qui n’ya?
Tu n’es pas morte
Elle répondit le pispot à la main (pot de chambre)
Tiens ! V’là la tisane que j’t’apporte.
Et comme toujours je ferai le tapage à la maison
Car vois-tu ta poison n’est pas morte
Et je mettrai cette eau dedans ton verre
Car maintenant ta poison
N’est pas morte.
Lyrics translation
1-John the other night climbing his stairs
Found his wife lying on the landing
Neighbors: ohé
My wife is dead
Come, come quickly, come live ' get her
Otherwise I'll kick her behind the door
'Cause she was the one making the fuss at home
Now: the poison ! she's dead !
She won't put any more water in my glass.
Because now the poison is dead !
2-Jean well drunk climbing his stairs
Believed to see his wife lying on the landing
Spoken: Gentlemen of the watch ! Answer: who goes there?
My wife is dead
Get up get up quickly pick it up
Otherwise I'll flank her behind the door,
3-then Jean gueulant woke his neighbors
So much gossip he saw Martin rise
Spoken: Oh Martin-answer: what is there?
My wife is dead
I'll pay you all the gout tomorrow morning
If you come to escort her
4-then moult onions Jean went to buy
So that in his mourning we saw him crying well
Spoken: Oh ! fruit-answer: voila ! voila !
My wife is dead
Give quickly give well-browned onions
So that I mourn her like that
5-then John went to wake the cure
Who snored loudly under his square cap
Spoken: Mr. Priest ! Answer: name of God what is there?
My wife is dead
Come come quickly tell him your prayers
And then the devil prevails
6-then John went to find the gravedigger
Who in a pit slept in the cool
Spoken: Oh ! fossier !
My wife is dead
Dig, dig fast, a hole, wide and deep
So the bitch doesn't get out
7-to his wife Jean had returned
But the dirty Beast was resurrected
Spoken: Hey ! More ! Aglaea-answer: what is there?
You're not dead.
She answered the pispot by hand (chamber pot)
Here ! Here's the herbal tea I bring you.
And as always I will make the fuss at home
For you see your poison is not dead
And I'll put that water in your glass
For now your poison
She's not dead.
