Original text and translations

French text (modernized) Tu disais que j’en mourrais, Menteuse que tu es. Ta mère n’en mourut pas ; Je ferai fourbir mon bas Si je ne suis mariée. Voire, voire, voire, tu l’as dit, Tu disais que j’en mourrais. Je n’aimerai jamais grand homme, J’aimerais mieux un petit homme : Le petit serre de près. Voire, voire, voire, tu l’as dit, Tu disais que j’en mourrais, Menteuse que tu es.

English translation You said it would make me die, And that’s a big fat lie! It’s not like your mama died : I'll go out and buck and ride If I don’t marry some guy. You did, you did, you did so say it! You said it would make me die. I will never love a big man, Better to love a little man: The small ones really try. You did, you did, you did so say it! You said it would make me die, And that’s a big fat lie! Translation by Thomas Daughton
