Original text and translations

French text (modernised) M'amie a eu de dieu le don, Que de beauté elle rien n'attache: Les deux yeux blancs comme un charbon, Les tétins ronds comme une vache. Au jeu d'amours elle n'est point lâche, A tous les coups je suis vaincu. Je veux bien hardiment qu'on sache Que je n'ai peur d'etre cocu.

English translation My g.f. has had the gift of god; looks-wise she's all there: Her two peepers like nutty slack, Round nipples like a cow's. She's no slouch when it comes to nookie: I come off second best every time. I really want folks to know That I don't have a fear of being cuckolded. (Trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
