Tous mourus [English translation]

The butcher hanged himself,

That's what is said

Yesterday, by the street corner, right behind the city hall.

The dairywoman didn't see anything, how sad it is.

There, the butcher is dead.

Who did all that to us ?

The farmer drown

That's what is said

Drown into the liquid manure he just spread on the Veillis.

Man kills man, as the guy from Bagnols said.

There, the farmer is dead.

Who did all that to us ?

The gamekeeper hanged himself

Near Chambourguet

He was found naked and in bad shape,

What's wrong and what a filthy weather

There, the gamekeeper is dead.

Who did all that to us ?

The priest just bit himself

What a strange coincidence

The tobacconist got cheated on, but that's not the business

For the butcher, we don't quite know, God what a slaughter !

There, the priest is dead.

But who did all that to us ?

The baker is screwed,

It doesn't go well for her :

The good people don't come anymore and nobody knows why.

I'd see the sea, or see the Pyrenees

There, the baker is screwed.

But who did all that to us ?
