Original text and translations

French.png French text

Fumeux fume par fumée
Fumeuse spéculation.
Qu'entre fumet sa pensée
Fumeux fume par fumée.

Car fumer moult lui agrée
Tant qu'il ait son entention.
Fumeux fume par fumée
Fumeuse spéculation.

English.png English translation

A smoker smolders smokily
In smoky speculation.
Thus he steeps his thoughts in smoke.
A smoker smolders smokily.

For it suits him well to smoke
Until he gets his way.
A smoker smolders smokily
In smoky speculation.

Until he gets his way.

In grumpy speculation.


The grouch fumes wrathfully
In wrathful speculation.
His thoughts are fogged by wrath.

For its suits him well to fume
Until he gets his way.
The grouch fumes wrathfully
In wrathful speculation.
