Il était une bergère

Once there was a shepherdess,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
Once there was a shepherdess
Who tended her sheep,
Ron ron, who tended her sheep.

She made some cheese,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
She made some cheese
From the milk of her sheep,
Ron ron, from the milk of her sheep.

The cat that watches her,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
The cat that watches her
With a mischievous look,
Ron ron, with a mischievous look.

If you put your paw in it,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
If you put your paw in it
You'll get a beating,
Ron ron, you'll get a beating.

He didn't put his paw in it,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
He didn't put his paw in it
He put his chin in it,
Ron ron, he put his chin in it.

The angry shepherdess,
And ron and ron, little patapon,
The angry shepherdess
Beat the little kitten,
Ron ron, beat the little kitten.
