Lyrics: Anon
Il était un jeune homme
qui avait non jennet;
qui n'avait bonne grâce sinon
quand il filait sa quenouille
auprès d'un moulinet.
Si vous l'eussiez vu rire,
eussiez dit qu'il pleurait.
There was a young man
who hadn't a groat;
he wasn't good-humoured
except when he was spinning his distaff
onto a reel.
If you had seen him laughing,
you would have said he was crying.
