El Rey De Francia

The King of France
Had three daughters
One was weaving
The other sewing

The youngest of them
Was making a frame
Weaving, weaving
She fell asleep

Her mother who saw her
Wanted to scold her
'Don't scold me, mother
Nor would you scold me

I was dreaming a dream
Nice and joyful'
'If you were dreaming a dream
I would let you go'

I appeared at the door
Saw the full moon
I appeared at the window
Saw the star Diana

I appeared at the well
Saw a pillar of gold
With three little birds
Pecking at the gold'

'The full moon
Is your mother-in-law
The star Diana
Is your sister-in-law

The three little birds
Are your little brothers-in-law
And the pillar of gold
The son of the King,
Your boyfriend
