Il a sorti du manteau
He went out of the coat
Des cartes rouges et noires
red and black cards
'Et alors' me dit l'oiseau
'and then' tells me the bird
'Qu'a-t-il fait de son manteau ?'
"What did he do with his coat? '
Il a transforme le manteau en chapeau
He turned the coat into a hat
En chapeau rouge et noir
red and black hat
'Et alors' me dit l'oiseau
'and then' tells me the bird
'Qu'a-t-il pose sur son dos ?'
'What did he put on his back? '
Il a sorti du chapeau un banjo
He pulled out of the hat a banjo
Un banjo rouge et noir

'Et alors' me dit l'oiseau
'and then' tells me the bird
'A-t-il joue sur le do ?'
Did he play on his back?
Une femme a dit bravo

Il n' lui a pas dit bonsoir
