(modernized)
Un jour au bois sous la ramée
J'ai trouvé mon ami seulet;
Au quel je dis sans demourée:
"Faites-moi le joli hochet".
"Bien", dit il, "faisons le dehet,
Un petit coup sur la rosée".
"He mon ami, qu'il est doucet!
Faites toujours, je suis paumée".

English.png English translation


So one day, beneath the canopy of the wood,
I'm finding my b.f. on his tod;
straight up I'm saying to him:
"Give me a good rattling".
He's like: "O.K., let's have a romp,
a quickie in the dew".
"Yeah, my b.f, that's nice!
Keep going, I've lost it".
