Aux marches du palais
Aux marches du palais
Y a une tant belle fille lon la
Y a une tant belle fille
Elle a tant d’amoureux

Qu’elle ne sait lequel prendre lon la

C’est un petit cordonnier

Qu’a eu la préférence lon la

Un jour en lit chaussant
Un jour en lit chaussant
Il lui fit sa demande lon la
Il lui fit sa demande
La belle si tu voulais
La belle si tu voulais
Nous dormirions ensemble lon la
Nous dormirions ensemble
Dans un grand lit carré
Dans un grand lit carré
Couvert de toile blanche lon la
Couvert de toile blanche
Dans le mitan du lit
Dans le mitan du lit
La rivière est si grande lon la
La rivière est si grande
Que les chevaux du roi
Que les chevaux du roi
Pourraient y boire ensemble lon la
Pourraient y boire ensemble
Et là nous dormirions
Et là nous dormirions
Jusqu'à la fin du monde lon la
Jusqu'à la fin du monde

We would sleep together along the
We would sleep together
In a large square bed
In a large square bed
Covered in white linen along the
Covered in white canvas
In the middle of the bed
In the middle of the bed
The river is so wide along the
The river is so big
Than the king's horses

Could drink there together there
Could drink there together
And there we would sleep
And there we would sleep
Until the end of the world lon la
Until the end of the world
