La guimbarde(original) |
| Trois garçons qui maraudaient |
| S’en allaient par la forêt |
| Le premier était un gueux |
| Le second un miséreux |
| Le troisième, qu'était boiteux |
| Lui, jouait de la guimbarde |
| Le plus grand allait devant |
| Le cadet allait suivant |
| Le boiteux, qu’allait traînant |
| Avait tout juste treize ans |
| Tout le matin ils marchèrent |
| Dans les branches et la fougère |
| Aux abords d’une clairière |
| Soudain, tous trois s’arrêtèrent |
| Dans la lumière sereine |
| Entourée de marjolaines |
| Appuyée tout contre un chêne |
| Une enfant filait la laine |
| L’un lui donna des noisettes |
| L’autre un bouquet de violettes |
| Le boiteux lui dit: Fillette |
| Que tu es donc mignonnette ! |
| Soudain l’aîné s’approcha |
| Et sa menotte lui vola |
| La fillette s’affola |
| S’en fut courant vers le bois |
| C’est l’aîné qui l'égorgea |
| L’autre qui la violenta |
| Le boiteux, lui, s'échappa |
| Et sa guimbarde tomba |
| On raconte que, dans ce bois |
| À la lune, on voit parfois |
| Le fantôme d’un gueux |
| Le fantôme d’un miséreux |
| Le fantôme d’un boiteux |
| Cherchant en vain sa guimbarde |
| Sa guimbarde, sa guimbarde |
| (translation) |
| Three marauding boys |
| Were going through the forest |
| The first was a beggar |
| The second a destitute |
| The third, what was lame |
| He played the jew's harp |
| The bigger one went ahead |
| The younger went next |
| The lame, who was dragging |
| Was just thirteen years old |
| All morning they walked |
| In the branches and the fern |
| Near a clearing |
| Suddenly all three stopped |
| In the serene light |
| Surrounded by marjoram |
| Leaning against an oak tree |
| A child was spinning wool |
| One gave him hazelnuts |
| The other a bouquet of violets |
| The lame said to her: Girl |
| How cute are you! |
| Suddenly the eldest approached |
| And his handcuff flew from him |
| The girl panicked |
| Ran off to the woods |
| It was the eldest who slaughtered him |
| The other who abused her |
| The lame one escaped |
| And his jew's harp fell |
| They say that in this wood |
| In the moon we sometimes see |
| The Ghost of a Beggar |
| The ghost of a pauper |
| A lame man's ghost |
| Searching in vain for his harp |
| His jew's harp, his jew's harp |
