C'est un petit bonhomme
C'est un petit bonhomme
There Was A Little Man
Chanson enfantine
Children's Song
(French)
(English)
C'est un petit bonhomme,
Haut comme trois pommes,
Qui s'en allait dans la forêt,
Sans penser à se cacher.
"Ouh, ouh, ouh,
Méchant loup,
Sors de ton vilain trou
Et viens sauter sur mes genoux !
There was a little man,
Short as a stick*,
Who was going into the forest
Without thinking of hiding.
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Bad wolf,
Get out of your nasty hole
And come jump on my lap!
Notes
*Or "Knee-high"
Many thanks to Léa and Marie-José from the IUFM (French Teachers Training College) from St Brieuc (Brittany) for singing this song for us.
