Lyrics - French
(French folk song)
1. Neige, neige blanche,
tombe sur mes manches,
tombe sur mon petit nez
qui est tout gelé.
2. Neige, neige blanche
Tombe sur ma tête
Et sur mes tout grands souliers
Qui sont tout mouillés.
3. Neige, neige blanche
Viens que je te mange
Pose-toi tout doucement
Comme un p’tit fondant. Ham !
English Translation – Snow, snow white
1. Snow, white snow, my dear snow
Fall on my sleeves below
And on my wee little nose
I feel that it froze.
2. Snow, white snow, my dear snow
Fall on my head just so,
And on my big shoes, I fret
They’ve become so wet.
3. Snow, white snow, my dear snow
Come, I’ll eat you just so
Land oh so softly on me
Like a melting sweet. Yum!
