Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Cane De Jeanne by Georges Brassens from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Est morte au gui l'an neuf
Died to mistletoe in the year nine
Elle avait fait la veille
She had done the day before
Est morte d'avoir fait
Died for having done
Du moins on le présume
At least we assume so
Est morte sur son œuf
Died on her egg
Et dans son beau costume
And in his beautiful suit
Ne laissant pas de veuf
Leaving no widower
C'est nous autres qui eûmes
It was the rest of us who had
Sans doute
Without a doubt
Garderons longtemps le
We will keep it for a long time
Souvenir de la cane
Memory of the duck
