Il faudra que je vous dise, jeune homme
I'll have to tell you, young man
Quelles sont mes fleurs préférées
What are my favorite flowers
Dites-moi, oui? Dites comment se nomme
Tell me, yes? Say what it's called
Vos fleurs préférées
Your favorite flowers
Ce sont les œillets
These are the carnations
Les œillets petits
Small carnations
Les œillets rose pâle
Pale pink carnations
Enfant, je vis près d'un champ d'avoine
As a child, I lived near a field of oats
Sur une route, en campagne
On a road, in the countryside
Un cocher qui faisait halte
A coachman stopping
Pour nourrir son cheval
To feed your horse
Mange, mange donc animal
Eat, eat then animal
'Mange', disait son maître, avale
'Eat', said his master, swallow
Cette jolie botte d'herbe
This pretty bunch of grass
Repaît-toi de cette gerbe
Feast on this sheaf
C'est alors que je l'ai vu
That's when I saw him
Seul, dans la botte, perdu
Alone, in the boot, lost
L'œillet, prisonnier de l'herbe
The carnation, prisoner of the grass
Noyé dans la botte d'herbe
Drowned in the bale of grass
L'œillet rose pâle
The pale pink carnation
L'œillet petit
The small carnation
Que le cheval
That the horse
Englouti
Engulfed
