arranged by Juliette Dade 2003 Translation: I am a young libertine woman Placed on this earth Neither father nor mother Do I obey Nor do I fear mayor, priest, Or people of quality. I have a little trunk At my father’s house He who opens it will have A great shock to their heart. There are within some vipers That are brooding a serpent O, believe me, Christians This is a horrible thing! It is not with ordinary food That I feed them. But with the royal blood The blood of the innocents Who followed me From the corner of the church porch When they were about to receive the baptism from a priest in robes. I know how to read and write The excommunication Enough to keep the priest From saying mass. If I could have lived Another year or two, I would have made Lower-Brittany Turn upside down.
