Celui-ci attrape une perdrix
This finger play is recited. The thumb is held first, then the pointer, etc.
Celui-ci attrape une perdrix
This One Catches a Partridge
Jeu de doigts
Finger Play
(French)
(English)
Celui-ci attrape une perdrix,
Celui-ci la tire,
Celui-ci la plume,
Celui-ci la mange,
Et le quiqui, qui n'a rien eu,
Quand sa maman fera du gâteau,
Il aura tout !
En attendant, lèche le plat, petit quiqui,
Lèche le plat, lèche le plat.
This one catches a partridge,
This one shoots it,
This one plucks it,
This one eats it,
And the tiny one who got nothing,
When his mom makes some cake,
He'll have it all.
In the meanwhile, lick the dish, little tiny one,
Lick the dish, lick the dish.
Many thanks to Edit' Dupont for contributing and singing this song for Mama Lisa's World. Translation by Monique Palomares
