À DIX HEURES DANS CES VERTS PRÉS
(French)

À dix heures dans ces verts prés,
Quat' patates, un brin d' porée, (bis)
Crénom de Diousse !*
Quat' patates, un brin d' porée, ça fait d'la bonne soupe. (bis)

À neuf heures dans ces verts prés…

RADdO : 06378.
AT TEN O'CLOCK IN THESE GREEN MEADOWS


At ten o'clock, in these green meadows
Four potatoes, some chard(s) (x2)
God damn it!
Four potatoes, some chard(s), it makes good soup (x2)

At nine o'clock, in these green meadows….

* The whole form of "Crénom de Diousse" is "sacré nom de Dieu" (God's holy name), "diousse" being used instead of "Dieu" to avoid blasphemy unless it was borrowed from elsewhere and written the French way (could be from us Occitan, but it's only an idea of mine)
