À la tresse
À la tresse
Oh The Braid
Chanson enfantine
Children's Song
(French)
(English)
À la tresse, jolie tresse,
Mon papa est cordonnier,
Ma maman fait des souliers,
Ma p'tit' sœur est demoiselle
Tire la ficelle,
Mon p'tit frère est polisson,
Tire le cordon.
Oh the braid, pretty braid,
My daddy is a shoemaker,
My mommy makes shoes,
My little sister is a maiden,
Pull the string,
My little brother is naughty,
Pull the lace.

Monique said, "I know the version...
'À la tresse, jolie tresse,
Mon papa est cordonnier,
Ma maman est couturière,
Mon p'tit frère est polisson,
Tire la clé de la maison.'
Translation
Oh the braid, pretty braid,
My daddy is a shoemaker,
My mommy is a dressmaker,
My little brother is naughty,
Pull out the house key.'".
