Original text and translations

French text Original text Il est bel et bon, commère, mon mari. Il estoit deux femmes toutes d'ung pays. Disanst l'une à l'aultre - "Avez bon mary?" Il ne me courrousse, ne me bat aussy. Il faict le mesnaige, Il donne aux poulailles, Et je prens mes plaisirs. Commère, c'est pour rire Quand les poulailles crient: Petite coquette (co co co co da), qu'esse-cy? Modern French Il est bel est bon, bon, bon, commère, mon mari, Il était deux femmes toutes d'un pays, Disant l'une à l'autre avez bon mari? Il ne me courrouce ne me bat aussi. Il fait le ménage, Il donne aux poulailles, Et je prends mes plaisirs. Commère c'est pour rire Quand les poulailles crient: Petite coquette (co co co co da), qu'est ceci?

English translation "I tell you, girl, my husband is handsome and fine," Once two women from the same village were gossiping, Saying one to the other, "Do you have a good husband?" "He doesn't scold me, or beat me either. He does the chores, He feeds the chickens And I take my pleasure. Girl, you have to laugh to hear the cries of the chickens, 'Little flirt (co, co, co, co, da), what is that?'" [Note: ”Petite coquette” (“little flirt”), which the husband is calling to his wife from the yard as she misbehaves, is also used (along with “co co da”) to imitate the sound of hens.] Italian translation «Mio marito è bello e buono, comare.» Così due donne dello stesso paese dicevano l'una all'altra: «Hai un buon marito.» «Non mi sgrida e neanche mi picchia, sbriga le faccende di casa, dà da mangiare alle galline e io me la godo. Comare, c’è davvero da ridere quando le galline chiocciano.» Co co co coccodè, civettuole, cos'è questo «Mio marito è bello e buono, comare»?

Polish translation Translation by Stanisław Jonczyk Cny i ładny jest mój mąż mąż mąż W pewnym mieście plotkowały dwie kobiety Czy dobrego męża masz? Bo ja niestety… Rzekła druga – mnie nie ruga i nie bije I kury nakarmi i świniom da pomyje A i o mojej uciesze nie zapomina Śmiać mi się chce gdy sobie przypominam Że jak kury i koguty ludzie gdaczą Ko ko ko- przecież małe flirty nic nie znaczą German translation Er ist schön und gut, Gevatterin, mein Mann. Es waren zwei Frauen, beide aus einem Dorf, Die eine sagte zur andern: Haben Sie einen guten Mann? Er erzürnt mich nie, er schlägt mich auch nicht Er versorgt den Haushalt, Er füttert die Hühner, Und ich habe mein Vergnügen. Gevatterin, es ist zum Lachen, Wenn die Hühner gackern: Co, co, co, co, da, kleine Kokette, was ist das hier?
