Original text and translations

French.png French text

Petite folle êtes vous pas contente
de me baiser cinq cent fois tout de suite,
approchez-moi cette bouche si gente,
et ces beaux bras tant qu'avec vous je luitte.

En bonne foi vous êtes la plus duitte
à m'embrasser qu'ai trouvé en ma vie,
mon petit coeur ne prenez point la fuite,
encore un coup baisez moi je vous prie.

English.png English translation

My little fool, why are you not content
To kiss me half-a-thousand times and more ?
Your charming little mouth to me present
And those fine arms, so that we two can soar.

By faith, you are the most attractive pro
To snuggle with that I have found in life.
So sweetheart, don’t insist that you must go!
Just one more kiss – it’s not like you’re my wife!

Translation by Thomas Daughton
