Lyrics - French
(Folk song from France)
Mon petit oiseau
A pris sa volée (repeat)
A pris sa, à la volette
A pris sa, à la volette
A pris sa volée
Il s’est envolé
Sur un oranger (repeat)
Sur un o, à la volette
Sur un o, à la volette
Sur un oranger
La branche était sèche
L’oiseau est tombé (repeat)
L’oiseau est, à la volette
L’oiseau est, à la volette
L’oiseau est tombé
Mon petit oiseau
Où t’es tu blessé ? (repeat)
Où t’es tu, à la volette
Où t’es tu, à la volette
Où t’es tu blessé ?
Me suis cassé l’aile
Et tordu le pied (repeat)
Et tordu, à la volette
Et tordu, à la volette
Et tordu le pied
Mon petit oiseau,
Veux-tu te soigner ? (repeat)
Veux-tu te, à la volette
Veux-tu te, à la volette
Veux-tu te soigner ?
Je veux me soigner
Et me marier (repeat)
Et me ma, à la volette
Et me ma, à la volette
Et me marier
Me marier bien vite
Sur un oranger (repeat)
Sur un or, à la volette
Sur un or, à la volette
Sur un oranger
English Translation - On the fly
My little bird
Took his flight (repeat)
Took his, on the fly
Took his, on the fly
Took his flight
He flew away
On an orange tree (repeat)
On an oh, on the fly
On an oh, on the fly
On an orange tree
The branch was dry
The bird has fallen (repeat)
The bird is fluttering
The bird is fluttering
The bird has fallen
My little bird
Where did you get hurt? (repeat)
Where are you, on the fly
Where are you, on the fly
Where did you get hurt?
I broke my wing
And twisted my foot (repeat)
And twisted, flapping
And twisted, flapping
And twisted my foot
My little bird,
Do you want to take care of yourself? (repeat)
Do you want to, on the fly
Do you want to, on the fly
Do you want to take care of yourself?
I want to be cared for
And get married (repeat)
And me my, on the fly
And me my, on the fly
And get married
Get married soon
On an orange tree (repeat)
On a gold, on the fly
On a gold, on the fly
On an orange tree
