J’ai perdu le do de ma clarinette

Lyrics - French

(Folk song from France)

J’ai perdu le do de ma clarinette, (repeat)
Ah ! si papa il savait ça, tralala, (repeat)
Il dirait: Ohé ! (repeat)
Tu n’connais pas la cadence
Tu n’sais pas comment l’on danse
Tu ne sais pas danser
Au pas cadencé
Au pas, camarade (repeat)
Au pas, au pas, au pas,
Au pas, camarade (repeat)
Au pas, au pas, au pas
Au pas, au pas

2. J’ai perdu le ré de ma clarinette…

3. …mi…

4. …fa…

5. …sol…

6. …la…

7. …si…

Translation – I lost the “do” of my clarinet

I lost the do of my clarinet, (repeat)
Ah! if daddy knew that, tralala, (repeat)
He would say: Hey! (repeat)
You don’t know the tempo
You don’t know how to dance
You don’t know how to dance
In quick time
In step, friend (repeat)
At a walk, at a walk, at a walk,
In step, friend (repeat)
In step, in step, in step
In step, in step

2. I lost the “re” of my clarinet …

3. … mi …

4. … fa …

5. …sol…

6. …la…

7. …si…

  1. but are the scale degrees from the clarinetist’s perspective or a flutist’s perspective? The English translation is “I lost the C on my clarinet” which would be a B-flat to flutist
