Zweistimmige Inventionen, BWV 772–786 / Two Part Inventions, BWV 772-786: Le Doux Caboulot (original)

Le doux caboulot
Fleuri sous les branches
Est tous les dimanches
Plein de populo
La servante est brune
Que de gens heureux
Chacun sa chacune
L’une et l’un font deux
Amoureux épris du culte d’eux-mêmes
Ah sûr que l’on s’aime
Et que l’on est gris
Ça durera bien le temps nécessaire
Pour que Jeanne et Pierre
Ne regrettent rien

Zweistimmige Inventionen, BWV 772–786 / Two Part Inventions, BWV 772-786: Le Doux Caboulot (translation)

The Sweet Caboulot
Flowering under the branches
Is every Sunday
Full of people
The maid is brunette
How many happy people
To each his own
One and one make two
Self-worshipping lovers
Oh sure we love each other
And that we are gray
It'll last just as long as it takes
So that Jeanne and Pierre
Don't regret anything
