Rataplan

The king had the drum beat
To see all his ladies
And the first one he saw
Stole his soul, stole his soul

Rataplan rataplan rataplan plan plan plan

Marquis, tell me, do you know
Who is this pretty lady
The marquis replied
Sire king, she is my wife

Rataplan...

Marquis, you are luckier than me
To have such a beautiful wife
If you were willing to grant her to me
I would take care of her

Rataplan...

Sire, if you were not a king
I would seek vengeance
But since you are the king
I am at your command

Rataplan...

Marquis, do not be angry
You will have your reward
I will make you in my armies
A handsome marshal of France

Rataplan...

Farewell my love, farewell my heart
Farewell my hope
Since you must serve the king
Let us part ways

Rataplan...

The queen had a bouquet made
Of beautiful lily flowers
And the scent of this bouquet
Made the marquise die

Rataplan... 3x
