Lyrics: Anon

Ces jours, la femme de Guillaume,
Enceinte d'un moine bien fin,
Dit qu'elle aurait quelque royaume
Car elle portait un dauphin.
Guillaume dit: "Et suis-je afin
Où parent de race si bonne?".
"Ce sera", dit-elle, "à la fin
Le plus prochain de la couronne".

The other day, Will's wife,
Who's pregnant by a posh monk,
Says she'll become a little bit royal,
Because she's bearing a crown prince.
Will says "Since when am I
A parent of such high breeding?"
She says: "In the final analysis, this will be
The closest we'll get to the crown (viz. tonsure)".
