Lyrics: Anon

Un amoureux découcher eut envie
Entre les bras de s'amie en bon point.
Il y alla; elle, d'amour ravie,
Se disposa faisant le contrepoint.
Sa mère à coup se sueilla sur ce point;
Oyant le bruit qui au larron s'écrie.
"Las", dit la fille, "êtes-vous si marriée
Si je le fais un coup en m'ébattant?
Contentez-vous ma mère, je vous prie,
Car bien souvent nous en faites autant".

So this lover wants to sleep
In the arms of his shapely love.
He gets well in; she, well turned on,
Disports herself, giving him some backchat.
So at this point her mother suddenly loses it;
Hearing the noise, she yells at the guilty party.
"Doh!", says the girl ,"are you so staid,
If I have a little nookie while frolicking?
Chill out, Ma, please,
For we do this well often".
