Parlez nous a boire

TELL US ABOUT DRINKING

Chorus:
Oh tell us about drinking, not about marriage,
Always regretting our past pretty times.

If you marry a pretty girl,
You're in great danger, they're going to steal her.

If you marry an ugly girl,
You're in great danger, you'll have to live with her.

If you marry a very poor girl,
You're in great danger, you'll have to work all your life,

If you marry a well-off girl,
You're in great danger, you'll get great reproaches,

Damned you, great good-for-nothing, you spilled all my possessions. (twice)
