Lyrics: Anon

"Perrette", disait Jean,
"Votre amitié me point;
Otez-moi de l'ahan
Qui me tient en ce point".
Perrette alors le joint,
Disant en basse voix:
"Jean, ne te hâte point,
Mon mari est au bois"

Iain's saying: "Perrette,
your fondness is giving me grief;
relieve me of the ache
that keeps me like that".
So Perrette's clasping him
and, sotto voce, she's like:
"Take your time, Iain,
The old man is in the woods".
