Lyrics and translation George Formby - Said the Little Brown Hen
Down
on
our
farm
the
animals
all
roam
about
in
pairs
Dans
notre
ferme,
les
animaux
se
promènent
tous
en
couple
But
lately
they′ve
got
all
mixed
up,
with
their
love
affairs
Mais
ces
derniers
temps,
leurs
amours
sont
un
peu
chamboulées
Said
the
little
brown
hen
to
the
little
white
duck,
"I
love
you
La
petite
poule
brune
dit
à
la
petite
cane
blanche :
« Je
t’aime
But
why
do
you
go
quack
instead
of
cluck?"
Mais
pourquoi
dis-tu
« Coin »
au
lieu
de
« Cot » ? »
Said
the
little
brown
hen
to
the
little
white
duck,
"I
love
you
La
petite
poule
brune
dit
à
la
petite
cane
blanche :
« Je
t’aime
But
I
can't
speak
the
language
of
the
duck
Mais
je
ne
parle
pas
le
langage
des
canards
Love
and
laughter,
makes
you
go
dafter
and
dafter
L’amour
et
le
rire,
ça
te
rend
fou ! »
Shortly
after,
came
a
lot
of
little
chicks
and
a
lot
of
little
ducks
Un
peu
plus
tard,
sont
nés
des
tas
de
petits
poussins
et
des
tas
de
petits
canards
Said
the
little
brown
hen
to
the
little
white
duck,
"I
love
you
La
petite
poule
brune
dit
à
la
petite
cane
blanche :
« Je
t’aime
Now
they
don′t
know
whether
to
quack,
quack
or
cluck
cluck
Maintenant,
ils
ne
savent
plus
s’ils
doivent
dire
« Coin »
ou
« Cot » »
The
old
black
crow
instead
of
cawing
all
day
sings
so
sweet
Le
vieux
corbeau
noir
au
lieu
de
croasser
toute
la
journée
chante
si
doucement
The
donkey
too,
instead
of
braying,
now
goes
tweet,
tweet,
tweet
L’âne
aussi,
au
lieu
de
braire,
chante
maintenant
« Tuit,
tuit,
tuit »
Said
the
little
brown
cow
to
the
little
white
goat,
"I
love
you
La
petite
vache
brune
dit
à
la
petite
chèvre
blanche :
« Je
t’aime
But
why
do
you
go
ma
instead
of
moo?"
Mais
pourquoi
dis-tu
« Mê »
au
lieu
de
« Meuh » ? »
Said
the
little
brown
cow
to
the
little
white
goat,
"I
love
you
La
petite
vache
brune
dit
à
la
petite
chèvre
blanche :
« Je
t’aime
But
I'll
stand
no
old
buck
from
a
kid
like
you"
Mais
je
ne
supporterai
pas
un
vieux
bouc
comme
toi »
Love
and
laughter,
makes
you
go
dafter
and
dafter
L’amour
et
le
rire,
ça
te
rend
fou ! »
Shortly
after,
came
a
little
brown
calf
with
a
nanny
goat's
beard
Un
peu
plus
tard,
est
né
un
petit
veau
brun
avec
la
barbe
d’une
chèvre
Said
the
little
brown
cow
to
the
little
white
goat
La
petite
vache
brune
dit
à
la
petite
chèvre
blanche
"I
warn
you,
If
you
call
me
an
old
brown
cow
you′ll
get
my
goat"
« Je
te
préviens,
si
tu
m’appelles
une
vieille
vache
brune,
tu
vas
m’énerver »
Said
the
little
brown
lamb
to
the
little
pink
pig,
"I
love
you
La
petite
brebis
brune
dit
au
petit
cochon
rose :
« Je
t’aime
But
why
do
you
go
snort
instead
of
boo?"
Mais
pourquoi
dis-tu
« Gronf »
au
lieu
de
« Beuh » ? »
Said
the
little
brown
lamb
to
the
little
pink
pig,
"I
love
you
La
petite
brebis
brune
dit
au
petit
cochon
rose :
« Je
t’aime
But
a
snort
like
you
would
be
too
bad
by
far"
Mais
un
« Gronf »
comme
le
tien,
c’est
vraiment
trop »
Love
and
laughter,
makes
you
go
dafter
and
dafter
L’amour
et
le
rire,
ça
te
rend
fou ! »
Shortly
after,
every
little
lamb
had
a
trotter
and
a
snout
Un
peu
plus
tard,
chaque
petit
agneau
avait
un
sabot
et
un
groin
Said
the
little
brown
lamb
to
the
little
pink
pig,
"I
love
you
La
petite
brebis
brune
dit
au
petit
cochon
rose :
« Je
t’aime
So
the
little
lambs
now
have
pimples
on
their
pork
Alors,
les
petits
agneaux
ont
maintenant
des
boutons
sur
leur
porc »
