Original text and translations

French text À la fontaine du prés, Margot, Marguerite s’est baignée. Son ami passait par là, qui la regarde, et hip ! « Belle, que faites-vous là, Margot, Marguerite ? — J’arrose mon persinet [: persil] et ma souriette [: petite souris], et hip ! »

English translation At the fountain in the meadow, Margot, Marguérite was bathing. Her lover passed there by, watching her, and hip! “My beauty, what do you there, Margot, Marguérite? — I’m washing my parsley, and my little mouse, and hip!” Translation by Michael Nick
