Lyrics: Anon
Les fillettes d'Ypres sont fort jolies;
Elles ont le coeur gai sans être mariés;
Ayant les corps mignons, les tétons ronds,
Les yeux si friands, toujours riants,
La bouche plaisante si friande,
Le couvre-chef à l'avenant,
Les cheveux bouffants, et en allant
Se vont marchant sur le bout du pied; le corps tremblant,
C'est une belle chose, sur mon âme.
Je prie à Vénus que lugne soit ma dame.
Ypres lasses are most bonny
And are happy of heart when spinsters;
Cute-bodied with round baps,
Glad eyes, ever laughing;
An attractive mouth so pleasing;
An appropriate bonnet,
Big hair, and when walking,
They step out on tiptoe; a shimmying body
Is a fine thing, upon my soul.
I pray to Venus that one of them will be my wife.
