Translation

My Grandmother

My grandmother, one evening at her party
After two fingers of pure wine
Told us, shaking her head:
How many lovers I used to have!
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

What! Mother, were you not a good girl?
— No, not at all and how to use my charms
I learnt at only fifteen
For at night, I did not sleep
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Mother, you had a tender heart?
— Yes, so tender that at sixteen
Lindor did not keep me waiting
And did not wait for long
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Say, Mother, did Lindor know how to please?
— Yes, he alone pleased me for four months
But soon I came to esteem Valère
And made two at the same time happy
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

What! Mother, two lovers at once!
— Yes, but each of them cheated on me
Then, more subtle than you think,
I married your grandfather
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Mother, what did the family say?
— Nothing, but a more sensible husband
Might have known by the shell
That the egg was already broken
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Mother, were you faithful to him?
— Oh! on that I keep very quiet.
Unless God calls me to Him
My confessor shall know nothing about it
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Much later, Mother, you became a widow?
— Yes, but, thanks to my gaiety,
Even if the church was no longer new,
The saint was celebrated no less for it
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
 

Should we, Mother, do it like you?
— Well! My grandchildren, for what reason,
When I did it like my grandmother,
Shouldn't you do it like me?
 

How much I regret
My arm so plump
My leg well-made
And the time lost!
