Original text and translations

French text Quand mon mari vient de dehors, ma rente est d'être battue. Il prend la cuillère du pot à la tête il me la rue. J'ai grande peur qu'il ne me tue. C'est un faux, villain, jaloux, grommeleux, je suis jeune et il est vieux.

English translation When my old man comes home from work My sad fate is to be whipped: He grabs a spoon from the pot And on the head I get clipped. I fear he’ll put me in the crypt He’s a liar, a jealous, brawling rogue, But I’m young and he is old. Translation by Thomas Daughton
