CHANT DE QUÊTE – 2
(Walloon)

On djoû Monseû l'Cwèrbâ, à l'copète d'on tiyou.
Tinéz ! Volà mé min, comment va-t-I, mon Diou ?
Nosse pôve petit houlot qu'a toumé foû dè nid,
Qu'a toumé foû dè nid en s'cassant lès deûs gngnos.
Sur l'air du tradèridèra (ter) et tralala…
Une petite hèye, Madame,
pace que j'ai si bien chanté, si v's plêt.
COLLECTION SONG 2


One day, Mister Crow on top of a lime tree.
"Here you are, here is my hand, my God, how are you?"
"Our poor, little youngest fell down from the nest,
Fell down from the nest and broke its two knees,
To the tune of the tradéridéra (3 times) and tralala…
A little present, Ma'am,
Because I have sung so well, please!
You can hear the recording here at 0:17.
This song is sung to the same tune as La Mère Michel to which is also sung St Nicolas, patron des écoliers
