Bawdy version of Les filles de La Rochelle

Sont les filles de La Rochelle
Ont armé un bâtiment
Ont armé un bâtiment
Elles ont la cuisse légère
Et la fesse à l'avenant

(Refrain)
Ah, la feuille s'envole, s'envole
Ah, la feuille s'envole au vent

Sont parties aux Amériques
Un matin, la voile au vent
Un matin, la voile au vent
Ont choisi pour capitaine
Une fille de quinze ans

(Refrain)

Nous n'avons pas besoin d'hommes
Disaient-elles à tout venant
Disaient-elles à tout venant
Mais au bout de six semaines
Elles avaient le cul brûlant

(Refrain)

Un beau soir, une frégate
Apparut sur l'océan
Apparut sur l'océan
Pleine de jolis pirates
De beaux gars appétissants

(Refrain)

Elles allèrent à l'abordage
À coups d' sabre et à coups d' dents
À coups d' sabre et à coups d' dents
Elles y prirent l'avantage
Et s' ramenèrent des galants

(Refrain)

Et sous la lune jolie
Étendues sans vêtements
Étendues sans vêtements
Elles ont écarté les cuisses
Toutes sur le gaillard d'avant

(Refrain)

Ont baisé à perdre haleine
Jusqu'au clair soleil levant
Jusqu'au clair soleil levant
Et c'était la capitaine
Qui menait le mouvement

(Refrain)

Le lendemain, le beau navire
Repartit vers le couchant
Repartit vers le couchant
Et les filles de La Rochelle
Le cul frais, allaient chantant

(Refrain)

"J'ai perdu mon pucelage
Au milieu de l'océan
Au milieu de l'océan
Il est parti vent arrière
Reviendra z'en louvoyant"

(Refrain)

English translation from here

The girls from La Rochelle
fitted out a ship.
fitted out a ship.
They are quite loose, (lit. "they have a light thigh")
even loosey-vavoosey (lit. "and the buttocks in accord")

So does the leaf fly, fly away
So does the leaf fly in the wind

They set off for America
one morning, at full sail.
one morning, at full sail.
They elected as captain
a fifteen years old gal.

(chorus)

We have no use for men
so they kept saying.
So they kept saying,
yet after six weeks
their asses were on fire.

(chorus)

One evening, a frigate
showed up on the ocean
showed up on the ocean.
It was full of handsome pirates,
fair, appetizing lads.

(chorus)

They hoisted the colors
fighting with sabers and teeth
fighting with sabers and teeth
They finally prevailed
and captured suitors.

(chorus)

And under the pretty moon
lying down stark naked
lying down stark naked
they all spread their legs
gathered on the forecastle2

(chorus)

They shagged breathless
until the sun set bright
until the sun set bright
and it was their captain
who set the pace.

(chorus)

The next morning, the fair ship
set sail into the sunset
set sail into the sunset
while the girls from La Rochelle,
their asses cooled down, sang:

(chorus)

"I lost my virginity
on the open sea
on the open sea
We set off in a breeze,
we'll go back in pain."
