Original text and translations

French text Baisez-moi tant, tant, fringuez-moi tant, tant, je vous prie. Si serai votre amie. Au joli bois je rencontrai mamie, au beau vert bois je rencontrai mamie, elle m'a dit tout bas en souriant: "Baisez moi tant tant, fringuez moi tant tant, mon amie je vous prie; Baisez moi tant tant, fringuez moi tant tant, si serai vôtre amie."

English translation "Kiss me lots, frisk me lots, I beg you, love; If I am to be your g.f". In the delightful wood, the pleasant greenwood, I meet my lover. She says to me smiling "Kiss me lots, frisk me lots, I beg you, love; Kiss me lots, frisk me lots If I am to be your g.f". (Trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
