Quand j'etais chez mon pere,
Apprenti pastoureau,
Il m'a mis dans la lande,
Pour garder les troupiaux.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,
Je n'en avais guere.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,
Je n'en avais biaux.
Mais je n'en avais guere,
Je n'avais qu'trois agneaux;
Et le loup de la plaine
M'a mange la plus biau.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,...

Il etait si vorace

Troupiaux, troupiaux,...
Mais des os de la bete
Me fis un chalumiau
Pour jouer a la fete,
A la fet' du hamiau.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,...
Pour fair' danser l'village,
Dessous le grandormiau,
Et les jeun's et les vieilles,
Les pieds dan les sabiots.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,...

He left only the tail
To put on my hat.
Sheep, sheep,...
But the bones of the animal
Made me pipe
To play at the fair,
At the village fair.
