Subject: Lyr Add: IL A TOUT DIT (trad.)
Here are the lyrics and a literal translation (not great literature!)

J'ai connu dans mon jeune âge
Le plus joli garçon du village
Mais il est devenu volage
C'est pourquoi je ne l'aime plus.

Refrain
Il a tout dit, tout dit, tout dit
Il a tout dit, tout dit, tout dit, tout dit, tout dit
Il a tout dit, tout dit, tout dit
Il a tout dit c'que j'lui avais dit.

Mais il est redevenu sage
M'a demandé en mariage
À l'église du village
Le curé nous a mariés.

Refrain
Il n'a plus dit, plus dit, plus dit
Il n'a plus dit, plus dit, plus dit, plus dit, plus dit
Il n'a plus dit, plus dit, plus dit
Il n'a plus dit c'que j'lui avais dit.

Résultat de notr' famile
Trois garçons et dix-huit filles
À l'église du village
Le curé les a baptisés.

Refrain
Il n'a pas dit, pas dit, pas dit,
Il n'a pas dit, pas dit, pas dit, pas dit, pas dit
Il n'a pas dit, pas dit, pas dit,
Il n'a pas dit que c'était fini.


I met, when I was young,
The cutest boy of the town,
But he became flighty,
It's why I don't love him any more.

Refrain
He said everything, said everything, said everything
He said everything, said everything, said everything, said everything, said everything,
He said everything, said everything,
He said everything I'd told him.

But he became well-behaved,
He proposed me.
In the town's church,
The priest married us.

Refrain
He didn't say any more, say any more, say any more....,
He didn't say any more what I'd told him.

Result of our family:
Three boys and eighteen girls.
In the town's church,
The priest baptized them.

Refrain
He didn't say, didn't say, didn't say...
He didn't say that it was over.

In some other sets of lyrics, 2nd verse,last line is "Nous venons de nous marier" (We've just married) and 3rd verse, 2nd line is "Une douzaine d'enfants sages" (a dozen of good [well-behaved] children) and last line "Nous venons les baptiser" (We['ve] come to baptize them). Some slightly different lyrics can be found.
