Translation of the song lyrics Martin - Malicorne

Martin (original)

Martin prend sa serpe au bois il s’en va
Faisait tant froidure le nez lui gela
Quel dommage
Quel dommage martin
Martin quel dommage
Faisait tant froidure le nez lui gela
Il prit sa serpette et se le coupa
Il prit sa serpette et se le coupa
Trois jeunes nonnettes qui passaient par là
Trois jeunes nonnettes qui passaient par là
La plus jeune d’entre elles dit qu’est -ce que voilà
La plus jeune d’entre elles dit qu’est -ce que voilà
C’est le nez d’un moine ça nous servira
C’est le nez d’un moine ça nous servira
Pour boucher les cierges Ô
Quel dommage
Quel dommage martin
Martin quel dommage

Martin (translation)

Martin takes his sickle to the wood he leaves
Was so cold his nose froze
What a pity
what a pity martin
Martin what a pity
Was so cold his nose froze
He took his pruning hook and cut it
He took his pruning hook and cut it
Three young nuns passing by
Three young nuns passing by
The youngest of them says what is this
The youngest of them says what is this
It's a monk's nose it will serve us
It's a monk's nose it will serve us
To stop the candles O
What a pity
what a pity martin
Martin what a pity
