Sur L'pont Du Nord
Chansons Enfantines
On the North Bridge
On the North bridge, a ball is being held
On the North bridge, a ball is being held
Adèle asks her mother to go there
Adèle asks her mother to go there
No, no, my daughter, you will not go dance
She goes up to her room and starts crying
Her brother arrives in a golden boat
My sister, my sister, why are you crying?
Mom doesn't want me to go dance at the ball
Put on your white dress and your golden belt
And we will both go to the ball to dance
For the first dance, Adèle danced well
For the second dance, the bridge collapsed
The bells of Nantes started ringing
The mother asks for whom they have tolled
It's for Adèle and your eldest son
This is the fate of stubborn children
Who go to the ball without being invited
