French.png French text

En m'oyant chanter quelquefois,
Tu te plains qu'estre je ne daigne
Musicien, et que ma voix
Mérite bien que l'on m'enseigne :
Voire, que la peine je preigne
D'apprendre ut, ré, mi, fa, sol, la.
Que diable veux-tu que j'apreigne ?
Je ne boy que trop sans cela.

by Mick Swithinbank
Sometimes when you hear me sing
you complain because I dare to call myself
a musician, saying that my voice
would be worth training,
that it would be worth the effort
for me to learn 'do re mi fa so la'.
Why the devil do you want me to learn that?
I already drink more than enough as it is.
