Riz à la crème
Pour me marier
Trouverai-je une fille
En ce quartier ?
Qui sache coudre
Qui sache filer
Qui sache faire des crêpes
Aussi danser
Que le dimanche
Je promènerai
Dans ma calèche blanche
Sous les palmiers
Qui sache coudre
Qui sache filer
Qui sache faire des crêpes
Aussi danser.
Rice pudding,
To marry
Will I find a girl
In this neighborhood?
Who knows how to sew,
Who knows how to spin,
Who knows how to make pancakes
And how to dance too.
Who I'll tour around with
On Sundays
In my white horse-drawn carriage
Under the palm trees.
Who knows how to sew,
Who knows how to spin,
Who knows how to make pancakes
And how to dance too.
