Il était une bergère
Il était une bergère,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon,
Il était une bergère
Qui gardait ses mouton,
Ron ron, qui gardait ses moutons.
Elle fit un fromage,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon
Elle fit un fromage
Du lait de ses moutons,
Ron ron, du lait de ses moutons
Le chat qui la regarde,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon,
Le chat qui la regarde
D'un petit air fripon,
Ron ron, d'un petit air fripon.
Si tu y mets la patte,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon,
Si tu y mets la patte
Tu auras du bâton,
Ron ron, tu auras du bâton.
Il n'y mit pas la patte,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon,
Il n'y mit pas la patte
Il y mit le menton,
Ron ron, il y mit le menton.
La bergère en colère,
Et ron et ron, petit patapon,
La bergère en colère
Battit le p'tit chaton,
Ron ron, battit le p'tit chaton.
Once There Was a Shepherdess
Once there was a shepherdess,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
Once there was a shepherdess
Who tended her sheep,
Ron ron, who tended her sheep.
She made some cheese,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
She made some cheese
From the milk of her sheep,
Ron ron, from the milk of her sheep.
The cat that watches her,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
The cat that watches her
With a mischievous look,
Ron ron, with a mischievous look.
If you put your paw in it,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
If you put your paw in it
You'll get a beating,
Ron ron, you'll get a beating.
He didn't put his paw in it,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
He didn't put his paw in it
He put his chin in it,
Ron ron, he put his chin in it.
The angry shepherdess,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
The angry shepherdess
Beat the little kitten,
Ron ron, beat the little kitten.
