La Pequeña Tonquinesa(original) |
| C’est moi qui suis sa petite |
| Son Anana, son Anana, son Anammite |
| Je suis vive, je suis charmante |
| Comme un p’tit z’oiseau qui chante |
| Il m’appelle sa p’tite bourgeoise |
| Sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkinoise |
| D’autres lui font les doux yeux |
| Mais c’est moi qu’il aime le mieux |
| L’soir on cause d’un tas d’choses |
| Avant de se mettre au pieu |
| J’apprends la géographie |
| D’la Chine et d’la Mandchourie |
| Les frontières, les rivières |
| Le Fleuve Jaune et le Fleuve Bleu |
| Y a même l’Amour c’est curieux |
| Qu’arrose l’Empire du Milieu |
| C’est moi qui suis sa petite |
| Son Anana, son Anana, son Anammite |
| Je suis vive, je suis charmante |
| Comme un p’tit oiseau qui chante |
| Il m’appelle sa p’tite bourgeoise |
| Sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkiki, sa Tonkinoise |
| D’autres lui font les doux yeux |
| Mais c’est moi qu’il aime le mieux |
| (translation) |
| I'm his baby |
| His Anana, his Anana, his Anamite |
| I'm lively, I'm charming |
| Like a little bird singing |
| He calls me his little bourgeois |
| Her Tonkiki, her Tonkiki, her Tonkinoise |
| Others give him the soft eyes |
| But it's me he loves best |
| In the evening we talk about a lot of things |
| Before going to bed |
| I learn geography |
| From China and Manchuria |
| Borders, rivers |
| The Yellow River and the Blue River |
| There is even Love, it's curious |
| What waters the Middle Empire |
| I'm his baby |
| His Anana, his Anana, his Anamite |
| I'm lively, I'm charming |
| Like a little bird singing |
| He calls me his little bourgeois |
| Her Tonkiki, her Tonkiki, her Tonkinoise |
| Others give him the soft eyes |
| But it's me he loves best |
