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
