Recette pour une dépense:
couchez-vous avant qu'il soit nuit
dormez toujours, et pourquoi?
Parce qu'en dormant, rien ne vous nuit.
Mais si vous voulez le plaisir amoureux
d'habiter chez la belle au corps gent,
par notre dame! Il faut de l'argent.

English.png English translation

If you want to avoid spending money,
go to bed before nightfall: go to sleep and stay there.
You ask me why? Because while you are asleep, nothing can harm you.
But if you want to play the beast with two backs,
spending your time with a graceful woman,
my word! You will need money for that.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank
