Chanson enfantine

Quand trois poules vont au champ
La première va devant.
La deuxième suit la première
La troisième est la derrière.
Quand trois poules vont au champ
La première va devant.

When three hens go to the field
The first one goes before.
The second one follows the first
The third one is last.
When three hens go to the field
The first one goes before.
