Original text and translations

French text Nous sommes de l`ordre de Saint Babouyn L'ordre ne dit mye de lever matin Dormir jusqu`a prime Et boire bon vin Et din din din… Et dire matines sur un pot de vin A nostre diner le beau chapon gras La soupe au jounet comme au mardi gras La pièce de boeuf et le gras mouton Et don don don… Et voila la vie que nous demandons

English translation We are of the Order of drunken fools The Order does not command us to get up early Sleep on till primes and drink good wine and tra la la and say mattins over a jug of wine for dinner a nice fat capon soup laced with egg yolk as on Shrove Tuesday a chunk of beef and fat mutton and bom bom bom and that's the life we ask for
