French text
Un jour de printemps,
Tout le long d’un verger
Colin va chantant,
Pour ses maux soulager:
Ma bergère, ma bergère, tra la la
Laisse-moi, laisse-moi prendre un tendre baiser
Oh! laisse-moi, ma bergère prendre un tendre baiser.
Ma bergère laisse-moi prendre un tendre baiser!
La belle, à l’instant
Répond à son berger:
»Tu veux, en chantant
Un baiser dérober?…
Non Colin, non Colin, Tra la la
Tu voudrais, en chantant prendre un tendre baiser
Non, non, non, non Colin, ne le prends pas,
Je vais te le donner…
Non, non, non Colin, ne le prends pas,
Je vais te le donner.
