Rataplan
Le roi a fait battre tambour
Pour voir toutes ses dames
Et la première qu'il a vue
Lui a ravi son âme lui a ravi son âme

Marquis, dis-moi, la connais-tu
Qui est cette jolie dame
Le marquis lui a répondu
Sire roi, c'est ma femme
Rataplan...
Marquis, tu es plus heureux que moi
D'avoir femme si belle
Si tu voulais me l'accorder
Je me chargerais d'elle
Rataplan...
Sire si vous n'étiez pas roi
J'en tirerais vengeance
Mais pusique vous êtes le roi
A votre obéissance
Rataplan...
Marquis, ne te fâche donc pas
T'auras te r'compense
Je te ferai dans mes armées
Beau maréchal de france
Rataplan...
Adieu ma mie, adieu mon cå"ur
Adieu mon espérance
Puisqu'il te faut servir le roi
Séparons-nous d'ensemble
Rataplan...
La reine a fait faire un bouquet
De belles fleurs de lyse
Et la senteur de ce bouquet
A fait mourir marquise
Rataplan... 3x

The king had the drum beat
To see all his ladies
And the first one he saw
Stole his soul, stole his soul
Rataplan rataplan rataplan plan plan plan
Marquis, tell me, do you know
Who is this pretty lady
The marquis replied
Sire king, she is my wife
Rataplan...
Marquis, you are luckier than me
To have such a beautiful wife
If you were willing to grant her to me
I would take care of her
Rataplan...
Sire, if you were not a king
I would seek vengeance
But since you are the king
I am at your command
Rataplan...
Marquis, do not be angry
You will have your reward
I will make you in my armies
A handsome marshal of France
Rataplan...
Farewell my love, farewell my heart
Farewell my hope
Since you must serve the king
Let us part ways
Rataplan...
The queen had a bouquet made
Of beautiful lily flowers
And the scent of this bouquet
Made the marquise die
Rataplan... 3x
