Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho Je l'ai vu près d'un laurier Elle gardait ses blanches brebis. Quand j'ai demandé d'où venait sa peau fraîche elle m'a dit: C'est d'rouler dans la rosée qui rend les bergères jolis. Mais quand j'ai dit qu'avec elle je voudrait s'y roulait aussi. Elle m'a dit: Elle m'a dit d'aller siffler là-haut sur la colinne, De l'attendre avec un petit bouquet d'églantines. J'ai cueuilli des fleurs et j'ai sifflé tant que j'ai pu, j'ai attendu attendu elle n'est jamais venu! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! A la foire du village, un jour je lui ai soupiré que je voudrais être un pomme suspendu à un pommier. Et qu'à chaque fois qu'elle passe elle vienne me mordre dedans. Mais elle est passée tout en me montrant ses jolies dents. Elle m'a dit: Elle m'a dit d'aller siffler là-haut sur la colinne, De l'attendre avec un petit bouquet d'églantines. J'ai cueuilli des fleurs et j'ai sifflé tant que j'ai pu, j'ai attendu attendu elle n'est jamais venu! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho Elle m'a dit d'aller siffler là-haut sur la colline. De l'attendre avec un petit bouquet d'églantine. J'ai cueuilli des fleurs et j'ai sifflé tant que j'ai pu. J'ai attendu attendu elle n'est jamais venu. Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Zaî zaî zaî zaî! Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
