(Folk song from Trinidad and Tobago)
Chat chat chat chat,
C’est chat qui mange la moriela
La moriela te bien couvert
C’est chat qui mange la moriela
Chat chat chat chat,
C’est chat qui mange la moriela
C’est moi qui dit mama moi,
C’est moi qui mange la moriela
Chat chat chat chat,
C’est chat qui mange la moriela
C’est moi qui dit papa moi,
C’est chat qui mange la moriela
Chat chat chat chat,
C’est chat qui mange la moriela

Cat cat cat cat,
It’s the cat that eats the morel*
The moriela you well covered
It’s the cat that eats the morel
Cat cat cat cat,
It’s the cat that eats the morel
It’s me who says mama me,
I’m the one eating the morel
Cat cat cat cat,

It’s me who says daddy me,
It’s the cat that eats the morel
Cat cat cat cat,
It’s the cat that eats the morel
