La Chasse Au Papillons (original)La Chasse Au Papillons (translation)
Un bon petit diable à la fleur de l'âge A good little devil in his prime
La jambe légère et l'œil polisson The light leg and the naughty eye
Et la bouche pleine de joyeux ramages And mouth full of merry song
Allait à la chasse aux papillons Went chasing butterflies
Comme il atteignait l’orée du village As he reached the edge of the village
Filant sa quenouille, il vit Cendrillon Spinning his distaff he saw Cinderella
Il lui dit: «Bonjour, que Dieu te ménage He said to her, "Hello, may God spare you
J’t’emmène à la chasse aux papillons " I'll take you butterfly hunting"
Cendrillon, ravie de quitter sa cage Cinderella, delighted to leave her cage
Met sa robe neuve et ses bottillons; Puts on her new dress and her booties;
Et bras d’ssus bras d’ssous vers les frais bocages And arm in arms towards the cool groves
Ils vont à la chasse aux papillons They go chasing butterflies
Ils ne savaient pas que sous les ombrages They didn't know that under the shades
Se cachait l’amour et son aiguillon Hidden love and its sting
Et qu’il transperçait les cœurs de leur âge And he pierced the hearts of their age
Les cœurs des chasseurs de papillons Butterfly hunter hearts
Quand il se fit tendre, elle lui dit «J'présage When he got tender, she told him, "I presage
Qu’c’est pas dans les plis de mon cotillon That it's not in the folds of my petticoat
Ni dans l'échancrure de mon corsage Nor in the cut of my bodice
Qu’on va-t-à la chasse aux papillons " How about chasing butterflies"
Sur sa bouche en feu qui criait: «Sois sage !On his fiery mouth that cried, "Be wise!
«Il posa sa bouche en guise de bâillon "He put his mouth down as a gag
Et c’fut le plus charmant des remue-ménage And it was the most charming commotion
Qu’on ait vu d’mémoire de papillon That we have seen from butterfly memory
Un volcan dans l'âme, i' r’vinrent au village A volcano in the soul, they came back to the village
En se promettant d’aller des millions By promising each other to go millions
Des milliards de fois, et même davantage Billions of times and even more
Ensemble à la chasse aux papillons Together chasing butterflies
Mais tant qu’ils s’aimeront, tant que les nuages But as long as they love each other, as long as the clouds
Porteurs de chagrins, les épargneront Bearers of sorrows, will spare them
I f’ra bon voler dans les frais bocages I'll be good to fly in the cool groves
I' f’ront pas la chasse aux papillons I won't chase butterflies
Pas la chasse aux papillonsNot chasing butterflies
