R:La, la, la, je ne l'o, je ne lo',
je ne l'ose dire.
La, la, la, je le vous dirai,
et la, la, la, je le vous dirai.

Il est un homme en not' ville
qui de sa femme est jaloux.
Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause,
mais il est cocu de tout.
R:
 
Il n'est pas jaloux sans cause,
mais il est cocu de tout.
Il aprete et si la mene
au marche s'en va a tout.
R:

Two more verses appear in at least one edition (Collection Renaissance, Les Presses d'Île-de-France, 1974):

Enfin, las de ce supplice
Le pauvre homme se pendit
Mais sa femme par malice
Chez Lucifer le suivit
R.

La morale de cette histoire
C'est qu'avant de se marier
Il faut savoir le jour même
Que c'est pour l'éternité
R.

En la, la la, durve ni, durve ni,
La, la, la, durf ‘et oâst ni zegge,
La, la, la, môr ‘k zeg het toch wel.

Er is ne vent in onze stroâte,
Die’s jaloes van zijn madam.
En è houdt heur in de goâte,
Môr è wet’ er just niks van.

En la, la la, durve ni, …

En è houdt heur in de goâte,
Môr è wet’ er just niks van.
Als ‘em klêer is, gâ ze boâte,
Nôr de mar’t mé alleman.

Translation by Jan Wyns

R.: La, la, la, shouldn't tell,
Shouldn't tell, shouldn't tell it to you
La la la, I'll tell you anyway
Oh la, la, la, I'll tell you anyway

In our town there is a man, who
Of his wife burns with jealousy
He's not jealous without cause,
She cuckolds him incessantly
R.

He's not jealous without cause,
She cuckolds him incessantly
He takes her over to the market
When she's there she makes most free
R.
