French text
La, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai.
Il est un homme en not' ville
qui de sa femme est jaloux.
Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause,
mais il est cocu de tout.
Et la, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai.
Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause,
mais il est cocu de tout.
Il aprete et si la mene
au marche s'en va a tout.
Et la, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai!
Two more verses appear in at least one edition (Collection Renaissance, Les Presses d'Ile de France, 1974):
Enfin, las de ce supplice
Le pauvre homme se pendit
Mais sa femme par malice
Chez Lucifer le suivit
Et la, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai!
La morale de cette histoire
C'est qu'avant de se marier
Il faut savoir le jour même
Que c'est pour l'éternité
Et la, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai!
English translation
La, la, la, shouldn't tell,
Shouldn't tell, shouldn't tell it to you
La la la, I'll tell you anyway
Oh la, la, la, I'll tell you anyway
In our town there is a man, who
Of his wife burns with jealousy
He's not jealous without cause,
She cuckolds him incessantly
And la, la, la, shouldn't tell,
Shouldn't tell, shouldn't tell it to you
La la la, I'll tell you anyway
Oh la, la, la, I'll tell you anyway
He's not jealous without cause,
She cuckolds him incessantly
He takes her over to the market
When she's there she makes most free
And la, la, la, shouldn't tell,
Shouldn't tell, shouldn't tell it to you
La la la, I'll tell you anyway
Oh la, la, la, I'll tell you anyway
