Meunier tu dors
Ton moulin va trop vite
Meunier, tu dors
Ton moulin va trop fort.
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop fort
Ton moulin, ton moulin va trop vite

Miller, you're sleeping,
Your mill spins too quickly

Your mill spins too strong.
Your mill, your mill spins too quickly,
Your mill, your mill spins too strong.
Your mill, your mill spins too quickly
Your mill, your mill spins too strong!
