Original text and translations
French text
Margot, labourez les vignes bientôt
Vigne, vigne, vignolet,
Margot, labourez les vignes bientôt.
En revenant de Lorraine Margot,
Rencontrai trois capitaines,
Vigne, vigne, vignolet,
Ils m’ont salué vilaine Margot,
Je suis leurs fièvres quartaines,
Vigne, vigne, vignolet,
Margot, labourez les vignes bientôt.
English translation
Margot, work at the vine soon
The vine, the little vine
Coming back from Lorraine Margot
I met three captains.
They called me a bumpkin
I am their quartan fever
Margot, work at the vine soon
The vine, the little vine.
