There was in a small villageY avait dans un p'tit patelin
A girl with laughing eyesUne fille aux yeux rieurs
And, to top it off,Et, ce qui ne gâte rien,
Pretty as a pictureJolie comme un cœur

As soon as she saw a boyDès qu'elle voyait un garçon
She would flee, lowering her headElle fuyait, baissant la tête,
Blushing with embarrassmentRougissant de confusion
On her bicycleSur sa bicyclette

It was alarmingC'était affolant
And disconcertingEt déconcertant
Pedaling pedalo pedaling pedalingPédali pédalo pédala pédalant
Her little heart went pan panSon p'tit cœur faisait pan pan

She is a wise girlElle est sage, la fillette

But one day in MayMais un jour du mois de mai
She decided, by Jove,Elle décida, ma foi,
To go pick lilies of the valleyD'aller cueillir le muguet
Through the woodsA travers les bois

Don't go, said momN'y va pas, lui dit maman
Don't go, it's imprudentN'y va pas, c'est imprudent
It's the voice of reason,C'est la voix de la raison,
Stay at homeReste à la maison

But it was springMais c'était l' printemps
And the beautiful childEt la belle enfant
Pedaling pedaling pedaling pedalingPédali pédala pédalo pédalant
Went off singingS'en alla tout en chantant

My little heart is celebratingMon p'tit cœur est en fête
One, two, three, four, five, six, sevenUn, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept
I have songs in my headJ'ai des chansons plein la tête
In the woods, there was the wolfDans l' bois, y avait le loup
Who suddenly devoured her.Qui la croqua tout d'un coup.

The moral of this story,La morale de cette histoire,
You must believe, you must believe,Faut y croire, faut y croire,
Is that girls should notC'est qu' les fillettes ne doivent pas
Venture alone into the woodsS'aventurer seules au bois
