La Cane de Jeanne traducción al Inglés

The duckling of Jeanne
La cane de Jeanne
She died on New Year's Day
Est morte au gui l′an neuf
She had made on the Eve
Elle avait fait la veille
Miraculously, an egg
Merveille, un œuf

The duckling of Jeanne
La cane de Jeanne
She died from having caught
Est morte d'avoir fait
At least we can presume
Du moins on le présume
A cough, real bad
Un rhume mauvais

The duckling of Jeanne
La cane de Jeanne
She died upon her egg
Est morte sur son œuf
And in her fine costume
Et dans son beau costume
Of feathers, brand new
De plumes tout neuf

The duckling of Jeanne
La cane de Jeanne
As she left no widower
Ne laissant pas de veuf
It was us who inherited
C′est nous autres qui eûmes
The feathers and the egg
Les plumes et l'œuf

One and all, there's no doubt
Tous, toutes sans doute
Will keep for years the memory
Garderons longtemps le souvenir
Of the duckling of Jeanne
De la cane de Jeanne
Good grief
Morbleu
