L'araignée Gypsy monte à la gouttière
Tiens voilà la pluie,
Gypsy tombe par terre,
Mais le soleil a séché la pluie…
L'araignée Gypsy monte à la gouttière
Tiens voilà la pluie,
Gypsy tombe par terre,
Mais le soleil a séché la pluie…
L'araignée Gypsy s'est endormie.
Gypsy Spider climbs up the waterspout*
Look, here it comes, the rain,
The Gypsy falls right out,
Then the warm sun dried up all of the rain and
Gypsy Spider climbs up the spout again...
Look, here it comes, the rain,
The Gypsy falls right out,
Then the warm sun dried up all of the rain and
Gypsy Spider, she fell asleep then.
 | MIDI Tune of L'araignée Gypsy (Click to listen) |  |
*Literally: Drainpipe
Here's a literal translation:
The Gypsy Spider climbs up the drainpipe
Hey, here is the rain,
The Gypsy falls to the ground,
But the sun dried up the rain...
The Gypsy Spider climbs up the drainpipe
Hey, here is the rain,
The Gypsy falls to the ground,
But the sun dried up the rain...
The Gypsy Spider fell asleep.
Many thanks to Monique Palomares for the song, midi tune and score. Translated by Lisa Yannucci.
