La Petite Tonkinoise(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 |
