Les cornichons [English translation]

We left Saturday, in a large car,

Together for a great picnic in nature,

We carried baskets, bottles, packages,

And the radio!

The gherkins

some mustard

some bread, some butter

some cocktail onions

some jams

and hard boiled eggs

The gherkins

Some corned beef

and Melba toast

some macaroons

and a corkscrew

some shortbread cookies

and beer

The gherkins

We had forgotten nothing, it was mom who did everything

She had worked three days without stopping

to prepare the baskets, the bottles, the packages

And the radio!

The cold chicken

the mayonnaise

the chocolate

the mushrooms

a can opener

and tomatoes

The gherkins

But when we arrived, we found the rain

what we had forgotten, was the umbrellas

we brought back the baskets, the bottles, the packages

And the radio!

We went back

to eat at home

the cheese and the cans

the jams and the gherkins

the mustard and butter

the mayonnaise and the gherkins

the chicken, the Melba toast,

the hard boiled eggs and then the gherkins
