Monique Origins: un festin de campagne (7) RE: Origins: un festin de campagne 27 Oct 23


From here
UN FESTIN DE CAMPAGNE

Nous avons fait un p'tit festin,
Un festin de campagne.
Nous invitons tous nos parents,
Nos voisins et leurs femmes.

REFRAIN:
Tout le monde chantait et moi j'criais:
Hip! hip! pon pon du fun y en avait!
Y'en avait pour tout l' monde!(bis)

Quand ça venait sur les minuit,
Nous décorions les tables
Avec des fleurs de pissenlits
Et des bâtons de rhubarbe.

Y 'vait le joueur de violon
Qui était plein comme un œuf
Et qui cherchait son arcanson
À quatr' pattes sous le poêle.

L' compositeur de cette chanson
N'est pas ben loin d' vous autres
Si vous lui passez l' flacon
Il en chantera une autre...
A COUNTRY FEAST

We had a little feast,
A country feast.
We invited all our parents,
Our neighbors and their wives.

CHORUS:
Everyone was singing and I was shouting:
Hip! hip! pon pon there was some fun!
There was some (fun) for everyone!

When it came about midnight,
We decorated the tables
With dandelion flowers
And rhubarb sticks.

There goes the violin player
Who was drunk as a skunk (lit. "full as an egg")
And who was looking for his rosin
On all fours under the stove.

The composer of this song
Isn't far from you
If you pass him the bottle
He will sing another one.
