Les prisons de Nantes [English translation]

In the prisons of Nantes

There was a prisoner.

No one came to see him

Either than the prison guard's daughter.

One day he asked her :

"And what did they say of me ?"

"They say of you in town

That you will be hanged."

"But if I must be hanged,

Untie my feet."

The girl was a greenhorn

His feet she did untie.

The swift prisoner

In the Loire threw himself.

As soon as he got on the bank,

He found himself singing :

"I sing for the beauties

Mostly the prison guard's one.

If I come back to Nantes,

yes, I will marry her."
