Dame souris, trotte trotte trotte
Lady mouse, trot trot trot
Gentiment dans le couloir
Kindly in the hallway
La pendule sonne, il est minuit
The clock strikes, it's midnight
Il fait bien noir
It's very dark
Les volets fermés, la cheminée et ma bougie
The shutters closed, the fireplace and my candle
Tournent, tournent, tournent, tournent
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Autour de mon lit
Around my bed
Mon ami Pierrot n'est pas venu chanter
My friend Pierrot did not come to sing
Au clair de la lune
In the moonlight
La nuit est trop brune
The night is too dark
Il est trop fort, mon vieux piano
It's too loud, my old piano
Descends le silence
Bring down the silence
Mais je ne peux pas dormir
But I can't sleep
Dansent, dansent, dansent, dansent
Dance, dance, dance, dance
Tous mes souvenirs
All my memories
Des fantômes sont venus me réveiller
Ghosts came to wake me up
Bleu le jaune chevauchait le chat botté
Blue and Yellow rode Puss in Boots
Cœur de Roussel monté sur un réverbère
Heart of Roussel mounted on a street lamp
Chantait tristement
sang sadly
Il pleut, il pleut, il pleut bergère
It's raining, it's raining, it's raining shepherdess
Frère Jacques n'en pouvait plus de ce nez
Brother Jacques couldn't take anymore of this nose
La Belle au Bois n'en pouvait plus de sommeiller
Beauty in the Woods could no longer sleep
L'alouette se faisait plumer la tête
The lark had its head plucked
En sifflant sans arrêt
Whistling non-stop
Il court, il court, le furet
He runs, he runs, the ferret
La clochette de Frère Jacques
Brother Jacques' bell
N'a sonné que douze coups
Only rang twelve bells
Au douzième mon mirage est parti tout d'un coup
At the twelfth my mirage suddenly left
Dame souris, trotte trotte trotte
Lady mouse, trot trot trot
Gentiment dans le couloir
Kindly in the hallway
La pendule sonne, il est minuit
The clock strikes, it's midnight
J'ai peur du noir
I'm afraid of the dark
