Souris Verte [English translation]

Lark, nice lark,

Lark, I will pluck you.

Lark, nice lark, lark

A green mouse who was smoking weed

Didn't listen to anyone and was showing off

I show it to these gentlemen

These gentlemen tell me: "My friend, stop drinking, go back to school, stop smoking"

So they despise me, they think I'm hallucinating

When the cats are away, the mice will play

When the cats are away, the mice will play

Oh oh

Are you sleeping ? Are you sleeping ? Brother John, Brother John

I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong,

Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong

Under the moonlight, my friend Pierrot

Give my money back, stop avoiding my calls

You have a new car, give my money back

One day under the moon, I'll catch you Pierrot

Maya, she's mean (she's mean)

Winnie, loves drinking (loves drinking)

Maya, she's mean (she's mean)

Winnie, loves drinking

Lark, nice lark,

Lark, I will pluck you.

Lark, nice lark, lark

Are you sleeping ? Are you sleeping ? Brother John, Brother John

I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong,

Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong

Lark, nice lark,

Lark, I will pluck you.

Lark, nice lark, lark

Go to sleep, Colas my lil' brother

Go to sleep, you'll have some cakes

Are you sleeping ? Are you sleeping ? Brother John, Brother John

I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong,

Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
