qui allait au marché
There Was a Shepherdess
Going to the Market
Chanson enfantine
Children's Song
(French)
(English)
Il était une bergère
Qui allait au marché,
Elle portait sur sa tête
Trois pommes dans un panier.
Les pommes faisaient rouli-roula,
Les pommes faisaient rouli-roula,
STOP !
Trois pas en avant,
Trois pas en arrière,
Trois pas sur l' côté,
et de l'autre côté.
There was a shepherdess
Going to the market,
She was carrying on her head
Three apples in a basket.
The apples did roll - rolly,
The apples did roll - rolly,
STOP !
Three steps forwards,
Three steps backwards,
Three steps to one side,
And to the other side.
