Lyrics - French
(French folk song)
C’est la jolie fête
La fête des Rois
On mange la galette
Chez mon oncle Éloi
Si maman est reine
Papa sera roi
Mais si j’ai la fève
La couronne pour moi.
Translation – It’s the nice feast, the feast of Kings
It’s the nice feast
The feast of kings
We eat the galette
At my uncle Éloi
If mom is queen
Daddy will be king
But if I have the bean
The crown for me.
