chanson XXXII

Changeons propos, c'est trop chanté d'amours:

Ce sont clamours, chantons de la Serpette:

Tous Vignerons ont à elle recours,

C'est leur secours pour tailler la Vignette.

O Serpillette, ô la Serpillonnette,

La Vignolette est par toy mise sus,

Dont les bons Vins tous les ans sont yssus.

English translation

Let's change the subject: we've sung too much about love:

These are complains, let's now sing about our pruning knives:

Every winegrower use it,

It is their tool to prune the vine.

Oh little pruning knife, Oh little pruning knife,

Thanks to you, the little vine is prepared,

Which gives good wines every year.
