Scions du bois

Lyrics - French

(Folk song from France)

Scions, scions, scions du bois,
Pour la mère, pour la mère,
Scions, scions, scions du bois,
Pour la mère Nicolas.
Qu’a cassé ses sabots
En mille morceaux.

English Translation - Let's saw wood

Let’s saw, let’s saw, let’s saw wood,
For the mother, for the mother,
Let’s saw, let’s saw, let’s saw wood,
For Mother Nicholas.
Then his clogs broke
In a thousand pieces.

Motions

Partners face each other and hold hands: right hands together and left hands together. Move back and forth in a sawing motion on the beat.
