Lyrics and translation Nursery Rhymes - Lavender's Blue

Lavender's Blue

Lavender's blue Dilly Dilly,
Lavender's green;
When l am King, Dilly, Dilly,
You shall be Queen.

Who told you so, Dilly, Dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, Dilly, Dilly,
That told me so.

Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen

Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so.

Lavande bleue

La lavande est bleue, Dilly Dilly,
La lavande est verte ;
Quand je serai roi, Dilly, Dilly,
Tu seras reine.

Qui te l'a dit, Dilly, Dilly,
Qui te l'a dit ?
C'est mon propre cœur, Dilly, Dilly,
Qui me l'a dit.

Appelle tes amis, dilly, dilly
Mets-les au travail
Certains à la charrue, dilly dilly,
Certains à la fourche

Certains au foin, dilly dilly,
Certains pour battre le blé
Pendant que toi et moi, dilly dilly,
On se tient au chaud

La lavande est bleue, dilly dilly,
La lavande est verte
Quand tu seras roi, dilly dilly,
Je serai reine

Qui te l'a dit, dilly dilly,
Qui te l'a dit ?
C'est mon propre cœur, dilly dilly,
Qui me l'a dit.
