Le fou du roi

(original)
Il était un fou du roi
Qui vivait l'âme sereine
En un château d’autrefois
Pour l’amour d’une reine
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Il y eut une grande chasse
Où les nobles deux par deux
Tous les dix mètres s’embrassent
En des chemins qu’on dit creux
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Lorsque le fou vit la reine
Courtisée par un beau comte
Il s’enfut le coeur en peine
Dans un bois pleurer de honte
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Lorsque trois jours furent passés
Il revint vers le château
Et alla tout raconter
Dans sa tour au roi là-haut
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Devant tout ce qu’on lui raconte
Tout un jour le roi a ri
Il fit décorer le comte
Et c’est le fou qu’on pendit
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
Et vivent les bossus ma mère
Et vivent les pendus
(translation)
He was a court jester
Who lived with a serene soul
In an old castle
For the love of a queen
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
There was a great hunt
Where the nobles two by two
Every ten meters kiss each other
On so-called hollow paths
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
When the fool saw the queen
Courted by a handsome earl
He ran away with pain in his heart
In a wood crying in shame
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
When three days had passed
He returned to the castle
And went and told it all
In his tower to the king above
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
Before all that is told to him
One day the king laughed
He had the Count decorated
And it was the fool that was hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
And live the hunchbacks my mother
And live the hanged
