Lyrics: Clément Marot

Le lendemain des noces on vint voir
Si l'épousée était de travail morte,
Puis on voulut de l'épousé savoir
Quant coups heurté il avait a la porte.
"Huit fois", dit-il, "et de ce m'en rapporte
Présentement, du tout à ma partie -
Qui n'était pas de son lit départie".
"Lors", elle dit, n'ayant de luy pitié,
"Menteur il est qui quitte la partie,
Car pour le moins j'en ai fait la moitié".

So the day after the nuptials, we've come to see
Whether the bride has been worked to death.
Then we want to know from the groom
How often he's banged on the door.
"Eight times", says he, " and if I recollect correctly,
It was all down to me -
I didn't leave her bed".
"Doh!" she says, mercilessly,
"He's a liar who's lost the plot,
'Cause I did at least half the job".
