French text
- Jan, petit Jan,
- quant tu as belle femme
- garde la bien
- mais ne sois point jaleux
- car ton bon bruyt tourneroyt en diffame.
- Jan, petit Jan,
- quant tu as belle femme
- sy tu ne l'es
- tu seras trop heureux.
- Laisse passer le tems amoureux
- Jan, petit Jan,
- quant tu as belle femme,
- sans parler d'eulx,
- ne leur donner nul blasme.
- Lors ils diront:
- 'Fi pour ces envieux,
- car petit Jan montre bien
- qu'il nous ayme.'
