"Sur la route de Dijon" is a military march from the 17th or 18th century, which became very popular in France in the 19th century. It was taken up by the military during the colonial wars.
The children's version generally removes the verse "Parait que tout le bataillon/La belle digue di/La belle digue don/Consola la Marjolaine" because of the bawdy nature of this passage, as you can hear in this rendition
Tradition has it that this is the Sainte-Anne Fountain, which was once outside the Dijon urban area and formed a charming stream that flowed into the Ouche river (tributary to the Saône, itself a tributary to the Rhône).

SUR LA ROUTE DE DIJON (French) [Sur la route de Dijon, La belle, diguedi, la belle, diguedon,] (x2) Il y avait une fontaine, la diguedondaine, Il y avait une fontaine, aux oiseaux, aux oiseaux. [Près d'elle un joli tendron La belle, diguedi, la belle, diguedon] (x2) Pleurait comme une madeleine, la diguedondaine, Pleurait comme une madeleine, aux oiseaux, aux oiseaux Par là passe un bataillon…. Qui chantait à perdre haleine, la diguedondaine... Belle, comment vous nomme-t-on ? On me nomme Marjolaine.. Marjolaine c'est un doux nom, S'écria-t-un capitaine... Marjolaine qu'avez-vous donc ? Messieurs j'ai beaucoup de peine... Paraît que tout l' bataillon, Consola la Marjolaine... Si vous passez par Dijon, Allez boire à la fontaine...

ON THE ROAD TO DIJON [On the road to Dijon, The beauty, diguedi, the beauty, diguedon,] (x2) There was a fountain, the diguedondaine There was a fountain, to/with birds, to/with birds [By it a pretty young girl The beauty, diguedi, the beauty, diguedon,] (x2) Was crying her eyes out, la diguedondaine, Was crying her eyes out, to birds, to birds A battalion passed by, Singing breathlessly, the diguedondaine... Beauty, what do they call you? They call me Marjolaine "Marjolaine is a sweet name", A captain exclaimed… Marjolaine what's wrong with you/what ails you? Gentlemen, I am in great sorrow/grief... People say that the whole battalion, Consoled Marjolaine... If you pass by Dijon, Go drink from the fountain...

"diguedi, diguedon, la diguedondaine" have no meaning.

DAUNA DE LA MAISON (Occitan -Gascon dialect) Adishatz, dauna de la maison, Lo topin, la culhèra e lo caudron, Ont ei la vòsta hilha Lo topin e la gran' grilha. Sabètz pas perqué e soi vienut? Lo topin, la culhèra, lo bisagut, Pr'evs demandar Catrina Lo topin e la terrina. Catrina e's marida pas d'enguan, Lo topin, la culhèra, lo cuu deu can, Que n'ei tròp soenhoseta* Lo topin e l'escauheta. Ont es lo mèste de la maison Lo topin, la culhèra e lo caudron Ont es anat lo mèste? Lo topin e la casseta Lo mèste qu'es entau mercat Lo topin, la culhèra e lo grand plat Crompar 'n sac de vaishèra Lo topin e la caudèra E quan lo mèste qu'es arribat Lo topin, la culhèra e lo gran plat Qu'am lo galant de Catrina Lo topin e la terrina Li èi dit "Catrina 's marida pas, Lo topin, la culhèra et lo gran plat, Que n'es tròp soenhoseta * Lo topin e l'escauhèta Era que hèi nòsta foncion Lo topin la culhèra e lo caudron Que'ns lava la vaishèra Lo topin e l'escudèra Era que hèi nòsta foncion Lo topin la culhèra e lo caudron Com' hèi sa prauba mèra Lo topin e l'escudèra.

MISTRESS OF THE HOUSE Good morning, mistress of the house, The pot, the spoon and the caldron, Where is your daughter, The pot and the large grill Don't you know why I've come? The pot, the spoon, the adze, To ask you for Catherine[to marry her], The pot and the oven dish Catherine won't marry this year, The pot, the spoon, the dog ass, For she's too diligent, The pot and the bed warmer/warming pan. Where is the master of the house? The pot, the spoon and the caldron, Where has the master gone? The pot and the ladle. The master has gone to the market The pot, the spoon and the large dish To buy a bag of tableware, The pot and the kettle And when the master arrived The pot, the spoon and the large dish, Here's Catherine's beau, (lit. "we have C.'s beau") The pot and the oven dish I told him "Catherine won't marry, The pot, the spoon and the large dish For she's too diligent, The pot and the bed warmer/warming pan. She does our service, The pot, the spoon and the caldron, She washes the tableware for us The pot and the bowl, She does our service, The pot, the spoon and the caldron, Like her poor mother does, The pot and the bowl.

This is the original word that can be found in a version of the song collected in 1912 in La chanson populaire et la vie rurale des Pyrénées à la Vendée by Sylvian Trébucq and spelled "soignousette". You can hear it sung now as "sen-yausépe" (or the like) as was collected by Félix Arnaudin (1844-1921) in his "Chansons populaires de la Grande Lande, t 2" that was still unpublished when he died and was first published in 1970 (so unavailable online). The words have no meaning per se and can only be the result of a mishearing of "soignousette" (pronounced /swεɲuzεtə/ -something like "swenyoozehteh"), a Gascon diminutive of the French "soigneuse" (diligent, meticulous, careful) written in French spelling norm.
So, the masters wouldn't allow Catrina to get married because they'd have lost a too good housemaid!

She tried America, Lily This great democratic country, Lily She wouldn't have believed if she hadn't seen it That the color of despair Was black there too But, at a meeting in Memphis, Lily She saw Angela Davis, Lily Who told her 'come, my little sister By uniting, we are less afraid Of the wolves that stalk the trapper And to ward off her fear, Lily She also raises a defiant fist, Lily In the midst of all these clowns Who set fire to buses Forbidden to people of color.

LO FANTAUME PELLEGRIN (Occitan - Nissart [Nice dialect]) Quora la nuèch es negra e longa E s’àude au luen, e s’àude au luen soufflà lo vent, Se un crit, un plour que si prolonga, Lo cuor vou glaça d’espavent ; Non v’arrestés en la montagna, De maïon cercas lo camin, |:Qu’es la terrour de la montagna, Es lo fantaume, lo fantaume Pellegrin ! :| Lo veires fà de cambarota Soubre lu pin, soubre lu pin de la foré, Dei roc s’en faire de pelota E lu v’abrivà per darrié ! D’autri fes, quora lo tron peta, Su li nebla, au gros dou bousin, |:Scriéu emb’au fuec de li saèta : "Siéu lo lo fantaume, lo fantaume Pellegrin !":| Berta, la nobla domaïsela Dou buon signour, dou buon signour de Casternou, Filha ben sagia e touplen bella, Per l’avé vist, mouré d’un còu ! Despi, su l’arida montagna, Plu de maïon, ni gran, ni vin ; |:Ma courre un’ombra en li baragna, Es lo lo fantaume, lo fantaume Pellegrin !:| Se l’average si deguola, Se la gragnola, la gragnola pista tout, O se la mula fa la fuola E dei plantun mangia lu brout, S’ai enfan li ven la magagna E se la frema fa de trin, |:Es la terrour de la montagna, Es lo lo fantaume, lo fantaume Pellegrin !:|

THE GHOST PELLEGRIN When the night is dark and long And the wind can be heard in the distance, and can be heard in the distance, If [because of] a cry, a cry that goes on and on, Your heart freezes with fear; Do not stop in the mountains, Look for the way home, |:How terrifying the mountains are, It is the ghost, the ghost Pellégrin!:| You will see him do somersaults On the pines, on the pines of the forest, [You'll see him] make rocks into balls And throw them vividly at you from behind! Other times, when thunder rumbles, On the clouds, at the loudest of the racket, |:He writes with the fire of lightning: "I am the ghost, the ghost Pellégrin!":| Berthe, the noble young lady Of the good lord, of the good lord of Châteauneuf [-de-Contes], A very well-behaved and very beautiful girl, For having seen him, died suddenly! Since then, on the arid mountain, No more house, nor wheat, nor wine; |:But a shadow runs in the bushes, It's the ghost, the ghost Pellégrin!":| If your herd tumbles down [into the valley], If the hail, the hail crushes everything, Or if your mule acts crazy And eats the [young] shoots of the plants, If your children are afflicted with mischief/roguishness And if your wife makes a scene, |:It's the terror of the mountain, It's the ghost, the ghost Pellégrin!":|

*"magagna" can be either of these words. The band "La Ciamada Nissarda" recorded a version with "cagagna" instead = If the/your children get the runs"

HABITANTS DE TOUT ÂGE (French) 1. Habitants de tout âge À l’heure du repos, En attendant l’ouvrage, Écoutez quelques mots D’un jeune militaire Revenant de la guerre, Content, plein de bonheur. Ce soldat doux et sage Rentrait dans son village Avec la Croix d’Honneur (x2) 2. En allant à la fontaine La femme de Perrier, A reconnu sans peine Cet aimable guerrier. Elle dit “Voilà cher frère, Voilà notre chaumière, Daignez voir mon époux ! Perrier, la bonté même, Autant que moi vous aime ! Allons, rentrez chez nous !" (x2) 3. "Perrier, voici mon frère Comment le trouvez-vous ? -Fort bien, dit-il, j'espère Qu'il va souper chez nous. -Perrier, laissez-moi faire, Je m'en vais chez mon père Car j'aime bien à le voir Ainsi que ma vieille mère Qui m'est toujours si chère J’irai souper ce soir.(x2) 4. Avec vous, mon cher frère J’irai voir ma maison N’y venez pas ma chère, Je veux taire mon nom Je veux voir si mon père Sous l’habit militaire Reconnaitra son fils. Je parlerai d’Afrique Et mon père Dominique En sera tout surpris.(x2) 5. Frère et sœur, le temps presse, Embrassons-nous, bonsoir, Demain après la messe Tous deux, venez me voir ! Nous ferons une fête, Elle sera parfaite À celle des beaux jours ! Avec mon père et mère Pour trinquer au Madère Et fêter mon retour.(x2) 6. "Bonjour, maître aubergiste, Pourriez-vous me loger ?" -Mon ami j’en suis triste, Rien de prêt pour manger ! -Si cela vous chagrine, Du pain, une chopine, C’est suffisant pour moi ! Sur une vieille paillasse, Daignez me faire place, Car il fait déjà froid ! (x2) 7. -Si cela vous contente Monsieur, rentrez chez nous Que rien ne vous tourmente Vous coucherez chez nous J’aime bien qu’on m’explique Les affaires de l’Afrique, Où mon fils est soldat. -En savez-vous des nouvelles? -Oui des bonnes et des belles Quelquefois l’on s'y bat (x2) 8. Les fils de la victoire Sont couverts de laurier Au chemin de la gloire Arrivant les premiers Ils valent plus en somme Car l’enfant de Belhomme A mérité la croix (x2) 9. S'il fallait tout vous dire Je n'en finirais pas Partout la France admire Nos courageux soldats Sur la terre et sur l'onde De l'un à l'autre monde Nous les verrons marcher Mais terminons la veille Je sens que j'ai sommeil Je veux m’aller coucher? "(x2) 10. À la chambre de grâce Sa mère le conduit Il mit son sac en place Sur la table de nuit Il dit voilà ma bourse Qui sera ma ressource Des auteurs de mes jours C’est pour mes père et mère Qui sont encore sur terre Que j'aimerai toujours (x2) 11. Et à l'heure ténébreuse, Le soldat dort bientôt. L’hôtesse curieuse, Visita son ballot. De sa main téméraire, du jeune militaire Veut chercher de trouver le trésor, En y fouillant sans honte Et cette femme elle y compte Cent-dix-huit pièces d’or. (x2) 12. "Oh, mari, quelle somme, Pour nous c’est un trésor ! Assassinons cet homme, Nous aurons tout son or !" Jamais aucun indice Auprès de la justice Il saura nous trahir Un jour à notre guise Cette bonne valise Nous fera réjouir (x2) 13. Descends donc à la cave Près de ce grand tonneau Va préparer au brave L'endroit de son tombeau.” Mais cette furie Va arracher la vie Au soldat décoré Et sans le reconnaître Le portèrent, les traitres, À l'endroit préparé (x2) 14. Le matin dès l’aurore L’estimable Perrier, Avec Éléonore Viennent voir le guerrier. “Ah, parlez-nous, ma mère De ce beau militaire Que vous avez logé? -Il est sur la grande route, Bien loin déjà sans doute Qui retourne en congé." (X2) 15. -Maman, c’est une fable Que vous me dites ici ! Ce soldat estimable N’a pas sorti d’ici ! Réveillez-le de grâce, Afin que je l’embrasse, Je l’aime tendrement ! -Le connais-tu ma chère ? -Mais, maman, c’est mon frère, Qui vient du régiment." (x2) 16. -Oh ciel! Je sens mon crime Qui m’entraîne à la mort ! Mon fils est ma victime, Grands dieux, quel triste sort ! Hier soir après la brune Pour avoir sa fortune, J’ai pris un grand couteau. Et de cet enfant aimable Moi, mère abominable, J’en deviens le bourreau !" (x2) 17. Dans sa douleur amère La femme de Perrier Va dénoncer sa mère Devant le brigadier Et la gendarmerie Saisit cette furie, Qui ne dit pas un mot. Il est bien véritable Qu’on mît cette coupable Au fond d’un noir cachot.(x2) 18. La justice réclame Avec juste raison Que tout comme la femme On mette l'homme en prison N’est-il pas moins coupable. Ce père détestable? Et d’un commun accord, Pour les punir du crime Pour venger la victime Ils subirent la mort (x2).

PEOPLE OF ALL AGES 1. People of all ages, At rest time, While waiting for work, Listen to some words/lines About a young military man Going back from war, Happy, full of bliss. This sweet and nice soldier Was going back to his village, With the Cross of Honor (x2) 2. A-going to the fountain Perrier's wife Recognized easily, This lovable warrior. She told him "Here, dear brother, Here is our cottage, Deign to meet my husband, Perrier, goodness itself, Loves you as much as I do!" Come on, enter our house! (x2) 3. "Perrier, here is my brother How do you find him (What do you think of him)?" "Very well, he said, I hope That he will dine at our place." "Perrier, leave it to me, I am going to my father's Because I like to see him Along with my old mother Who is always dear to me I’ll go and dine [there] tonight (x2) 4. With you, my dear brother, I’ll go and see my home. Don’t come, my dear (sister) I want to keep my name secret I want to see if my father, Under the (my) military outfit Will know his son. I’ll talk about Africa And my father Dominic Will be very surprised. (x2) 5. Brother and sister, time is running out Let’s kiss, goodbye, Tomorrow after mass Both of you, come see me! We will have a party, It will be perfect Like the one of the beautiful(fine) days! With my father and mother To toast with Madeira wine And celebrate my return" (X2) 6. "Good evening, master innkeeper, Could you accommodate me?" "My friend, I'm sad about it No food is ready/prepared !" "If it worries you, Some bread and a glass [of wine or anything else] It's enough for me! On an old straw mattress Deign to make me some place For it's already cold!" (x2) 7. "If you make it do, Sir, come on in Let nothing trouble you You will sleep at our place I like to be explained Matters of Africa, Where my son is a soldier. Do you know any news about it?" "Yes, I know good ones and fine ones, Sometimes they fight there" (x2) 8.The sons of victory Are covered with laurel On the path to glory Arriving first They are worth more in short Because the child of Belhomme Has deserved the cross 9. "If I had to tell you everything I’d never be finished Everywhere France admires Our courageous soldiers On the earth and on the water(sea) From one world to the other We’ll see them marching But let’s finish the vigil I feel that I am sleepy I want to go to bed." (x2) 10. To the grace (fate?) bedroom, His mother leads him He put his bag in place On the night table He says here is my purse Which will be my resource Of the authors of my days It’s for my father and mother Who are still on earth Whom I will always love (x2) 11.And at the dark hour, The soldier soon sleeps. The curious hostess, Visited his bundle. With a bold hand, of the young soldier She wanted to find his treasure She searched without shame And this woman counts there One hundred and eighteen gold coins*. (x2) 12. "Oh, husband, what a sum of money, For us, it’s a treasure! Let's murder this man, We will have all his gold!" Never any clue To justice Will be able to betray us One day at our leisure This good suitcase Will make us rejoice (x2) 13. Go down to the cellar Near that big barrel Go and prepare for the brave The place of his tomb/grave.” But this fury Goes and tears away the life Of the decorated soldier And without recognizing him The traitors brought him, To the prepared place (X2) 14. In the morning, at dawn, The worthy Perrier With Eléonore Go to visit warrior. "Ah, tell us, mother, About this fine military man You accommodated!" "He's on the highway, Probably already far away, Going back to his leave" (1). (x2) 15. "Mother, it's a tale You're telling me now! This worthy soldier Didn't go out from here! Please wake him up So that I kiss him I love him tenderly!" "Do you know him, my dear?" "But, Mom, he's my brother Who comes back from the army." (x2) 16. "Oh, heavens! I feel my crime Dragging me to death! My son is my victim, Great gods, what a sad fate! Yesterday evening after dusk To get his wealth I took a big knife. Oh, of this lovely child, I, an abominable mother, Have been the executioner." (x2) 17. In bitter pain Perrier's wife Goes to denounce her mother Before the sergeant And the gendarmerie Seizes this fury, Who does not say a word. It’s very true That this guilty woman was put Into a dark jail (x2) 18.Justice demands With good reason That in the very same way as the woman, The man be put in prison He is no less guilty. This loathsome father. And on a mutual agreement To punish them for the crime To avenge the victim They suffered death (x2).

*Note that the young man has 118 gold coins in his bag, which would make a quite heavy bag. In French 118 is worded "cent-dix-huit" (lit. hundred-ten-eight = hundred eighteen). In some versions the digits have been swapped as "dix-huit-cents" = lit. "eighteen hundred" which would have needed a wheelbarrow to be carried!
A version can be found on Fernand Guériff’s collection.
For those who read French: A blog post on Dastum.
The longest version has 18 verses (Cf. lyrics above) and is available to listen to on the Haute-Loire archives (Haute-Loire is located in the Massif Central) (Click on the green arrow)

LO VIATGE (Occitan) Sant Josèp ambe Maria Totis dos van viatjar. Demandan la retirada, Degun los vòl pas lotjar Degun los vòl pas lotjar. "Ont anatz tant bèla Dama? E l'enfant que vos portatz? - Vòli l'amagar, brave òme, Digatz s'aquò se pòt far? Digatz s'aquò se pòt far? - Aquí dejós ma capòta, Degun li vendrà cercar! - Pren-te lo faucil, brave òme, Ton blat prèssa de copar! Ton blat prèssa de copar! Coma se farià, Madama? Totara l'ai semenat! - Vai t'en véser sus l'arada Anem ! Vai segar ton blat! Anem ! Vai segar ton blat!" La palha dins un quart d'ora Avià grandit, espigat, E dins un autre quart d'ora, L'espic s'èra amadurat L'espic s'èra amadurat. La primièra gabelada Ne fasià un plen braçat, Mas aquí la bona armada Dels Josieus emmalierats Dels Josieus emmalierats. "Vèni viste, vièlh segaire, Quita de segar lo blat! Ont es passada la maire Que portava un novel nat? Que portava un novel nat? - Passèt pel temps de cobrida Quand semenavi mon blat - Anem partiguem brigada, Aquò'z èra l'an passat! Aquò'z èra l'an passat!"

THE JOURNEY Saint Joseph with Mary The two of them are going to travel They ask for a shelter No one wants to accommodate them, No one wants to accommodate them. "Where are you going, beautiful Lady And the child you are carrying?" "I want to hide him, good man, Tell me if it can be done, Tell me if it can be done." "Here, under my cloak, No one will come looking!" "Take your sickle, good man Your wheat is ready to reap, Your wheat is ready to reap!" "How could it be, Madam, I sowed it just now!" "Go and see it on the ploughed fields, Come on, go and reap your wheat, Come on, go and reap your wheat!" The straw in a quarter of an hour Had grown, made the ear And in another quarter of an hour, The ear had ripened, The ear had ripened. The first sheaf Made a good armful But here is the good army Of angry Jews Of angry Jews. "Come quickly, old reaper, Stop reaping your wheat! Where has the mother gone Who was carrying a newborn, Who was carrying a newborn?" "She passed by at sowing time When I was sowing my wheat." "Come on, let's go, fellows, That was last year, That was last year!

The song was recorded by La Talvèra.
Recording by Charles Tyssandier (4 verses only)
A slightly different version of it was collected by Damase Arbaud (1814 – 1876) in Chants populaires de la Provence v.1 (1862)

On Monday Joan sang "Le carillon de Vendôme".
This song talks of the situation of the Dauphin Charles VII at his father's death in 1422 when he inherited the kingdom of France reduced to the town of Bourges and some less important ones such as Orléans, Beaugency…, the rest of the kingdom being occupied by the English and their allies during The Hundred Years' War. (The "dauphin" is the France throne's heir, usually the king's eldest son.)

LE CARILLON DE VENDÔME (French) Mes amis que reste-t-il À ce Dauphin si gentil ? Orléans, Beaugency, Notre Dame de Cléry, Vendôme, Vendôme !

VENDÔME CHIMES My friends, what is left To this so nice Dauphin? Orléans, Beaugency, Notre Dame de Cléry, Vendôme, Vendôme!

You also have it in this Mudcat thread. along with other French canons.

CHUT, CHUT, CHUT (Occitan) Languedoc version Dins un establet aval Es nascut polit Nadal Dins una grèpia de rocada Ame de palha per flaçada… |:Chut, chut, chut Que l’enfant dòrm Pas tant de bruch.:| Lo cordonièr ven exprès Per li faire de solièrs. Pim, pam, pom, pica la semèla Mas Sant Josèp lèu l'interpèla… L’amolaire qu'a pas set Vòl li faire un cotelet. A virar la mòla s'aprèsta Mas Sant Josèp viste l'arrèsta… Puèi es vengut un fustièr Li faire un brèç de noguièr. N'es a la primièira vireta Que Sant Josèp li ditz "pauseta"… Tres femnòtas per lo mens Pòrtan ensemble de presents. Caduna vòl parlar primièira Cridan coma de peissonièiras… Aquí los mages Gaspard Melquiòr e Baltasar. Tanlèu lo pòble los aclama E Sant Josèp solet s'exclama…

SHUSH, SHUSH, SHUSH In a little cowshed down there, The pretty Child was born In a stony manger With some straw as a blanket… |:Shush, shush, shush, The child's sleeping, Don't make so much noise.:| The shoemaker comes on purpose To make him shoes. Pim, pam, poom, he hits on the sole But Saint Joseph soon calls out to him… The grinder who's not thirsty Wants to make a penknife for him. He's about to spin the grinding wheel But Saint Joseph quickly stops him… Then a carpenter came To make him a walnut wood cradle. He's doing the first turn When Saint Joseph tells him "Break!"… Three little women at least Bring presents together. Each one wants to speak first, They shout like fishmongers… There comes the Magi Gaspar, Melchior and Balthazar. At once the people cheers them And Saint Joseph, alone, exclaims…

Woe is me, where will I pass through? I will drown, I will drown.
