Lyrics of Les Filles D'Escoublac - Tri Yann

Les Filles D'Escoublac (original)

Qui aiment la chopine, gai manenon
Qui aiment la chopine, ma Louison
Elles avaient toutes beaucoup d’argent (bis)
Excepté la petite, gai manenon
Excepté la petite, ma Louison
Elle engagit son cotillon
Et puis sa chemise
Son bel amant passit par là
Et ne fit qu’en rire
Ah rendez-lui son cotillon
Et puis sa chemise
J’ai de l’argent pein mon gousset
Pour payer sa chemise, gai manenon
Pour payer sa chopine, ma Louison

(translation)

Who like pint, gay manenon
Who like the pint, my Louison
They all had a lot of money (twice)
Except the small, gay manenon
Except the little one, my Louison
She engages her cotillion
And then his shirt
Her handsome lover passed by
And only laughed
Ah give him back his petticoat
And then his shirt
I have money painted in my pocket
To pay for his shirt, gay manenon
To pay for his pint, my Louison
