Le lapin s’est sauvé dans le jardin
(French)

Mon petit lapin
S’est sauvé dans le jardin.
Cherchez-moi, coucou, coucou,
Je suis caché sous un chou.

Remuant son nez
Il se moque du fermier.
Cherchez-moi, coucou, coucou,
Je suis caché sous un chou.

Tirant ses moustaches
Le fermier passe et repasse,
Mais ne trouve rien du tout !
Le lapin mange le chou !

The Little Rabbit Ran Away in The Garden
(English)

My little rabbit
Ran away in the garden
Search me, peekaboo peekaboo
I’m hiding in the cabbage

He moves his nose
He makes the farmer a fool
Search me, peekaboo peekaboo
I’m hiding in the cabbage

Pulling from his moustaches
The farmer goes to and fro
But he finds nothing at all
The rabbit eats the cabbage!

Thanks Monique!
