26 Dec 12 - 04:35 PM (#3457357) Subject: Lyr Req: Le petit moulin (tricot) From: Mo the caller We went to a Breton music workshop and learned a tune for the dance 'tricot', which has part in 3/2 time and part in 2/2. The person who should have led the workshop had lost her voice so another member of the band did it. He told us that it was a song, and that Annette would have sung it for us, but couldn't. She did some good mime to indicate that 'tricot' meant the knitting together of 2 dances (Hanter Dro? and An Dro? not that I can do either) Does anyone have the words? it might be easier to remember the tune with them. |

(bis) Le meunier qui l'habite est un fameux blondin . (bis) Revenez-y donc ma jolie demoiselle Car il est, car il est en train, mon moulin Revenez-y donc ma jolie demoiselle Car il est en train d'y moudre Revenez-y donc ma jolie demoiselle Car il est, car il est en train, mon moulin Revenez-y donc ma jolie demoiselle Car il est en train d'y moudre Par là passe une vielle qui voulait moudre son grain . "Pour vous, ma pauvre vielle, mon moulin n'marche point . Si vous avez une fille, dites-lui d'passer demain ." Quand la jeune-fille arrive, le moulin marchait bien . La jeune-fille s'endort au tic-tac du moulin . Et quand elle se réveille, son p'tit sac était plein De la blanche farine, la plus blanche du moulin . "Ah ! Que va dire mon père, de voir mon sac si plein ? - Tu lui diras, la belle : c'est l'meunier Mathurin Qui caresse les filles au tic-tac du moulin . " |

Sheet music with full lyrics. It can also be found as "Derrière de chez mon père". |

I stuck the lyrics in google translator and it mangled them into this Behind my father There is a mill The miller who lives Is a happy blond Chorus: Come back to it so my pretty lady As it is, because it is now my mill Come back to it so my pretty lady Because it is in the process of grinding 2) there passed an old Who wanted his grain To my poor old My mill n'marche points 3) If you have a daughter Bring Me Tomorrow When the girl arrives The mill worked well 4) The girl sleeps The ticking of the mill And when she wakes up His little bag was full 5) From the white flour The whiter the mill What will he say my father To see if my bag full? 6) Tell them the beautiful It is the miller Mathurin Caressing girls The ticking of the mill My school French got me almost that far. I guess millers have the same reputation in France as in England then. |

Chorus Do come back (to it), my pretty lady As my mill is, as my mill is, Do come back (to it), my pretty lady As my mill is grinding. 2 There passed an old woman Who wanted to grind her grain "For you, my poor old woman, My mill doesn't work. 3 If you have a daughter Tell her to come tomorrow." When the young girl came The mill was working fine. 4 The young girl got asleep To the ticking of the mill, When she woke up, Her little bag was full 5 Of white flour, The whitest of the mill. "Ah! what will my father say When he sees my bag so full?" 6 "You'll tell him, my pretty: 'It's the miller Mathurin Who caresses the girls To the ticking of the mill'." |
