Lark, nice lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, sweet lark, lark
A green mouse smoking grass
Who makes it at his head and who inflated the pecs'
I show it to these gentlemen
These gentlemen tell me
"Oh my friend must stop drinking, go back to school, stop weed"
So they despise me, they think I'm hallucinating
When the cats are not there, the mice dance
When the cats are not there, the mice dance
Oh oh
Brother Jacques, brother Jacques, do you sleep? Are you sleeping?
I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
In the moonlight my friend Pierrot
You have to give back my money, you run away from my number
You got a new car, have to return my euros
One day under the moon, I'll catch you Pierrot
Maya, mwana mabé (she is mabé)
Winnie, o lelaka drink (likes the drink)
Maya, mwana mabé (she is mabé)
Winnie, o lelaka drink
Lark, little lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, little lark, lark
Brother Jacques, brother Jacques, do you sleep? Are you sleeping?
I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
Lark, nice lark
Alouette I will pluck you
Lark, sweet lark, lark
Go to sleep, Colas my little brother
Go to sleep, you will have cakes
Brother Jacques, brother Jacques, do you sleep? Are you sleeping?
I said ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
Ding, ding, ding, ding, dong, ding, ding, dong
