French text
- Un jour de printemps,
- Tout le long d’un verger
- Colin va chantant,
- Pour ses maux soulager:
- Ma bergère, ma bergère, tra la la
- Laisse-moi, laisse-moi prendre un tendre baiser
- Oh! laisse-moi, ma bergère prendre un tendre baiser.
- Ma bergère laisse-moi prendre un tendre baiser!
- La belle, à l’instant
- Répond à son berger:
- »Tu veux, en chantant
- Un baiser dérober?…
- Non Colin, non Colin, Tra la la
- Tu voudrais, en chantant prendre un tendre baiser
- Non, non, non, non Colin, ne le prends pas,
- Je vais te le donner…
- Non, non, non Colin, ne le prends pas,
- Je vais te le donner.
