about

Madrigal by Pierre Passereau -
the chattering of the two housewives about their husbands begins to sound like the clucking of proud chickens

lyrics

Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari. [English translation below]
Il etait deux femmes toutes d`un pays.
Disans l`une a l`outre: Avez bon mari?
Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari.
Il ne me courousse ne me bat aussi;
Il fait le mesnage,
Il donne aux poulailles
Et je prens mes plaisirs.
Commere, c`est pour rire
Quant les poulailles crient
Co co di co co da
Petite coquete, qu`est cecy?
Il est bel et bon, commere, mon mari.

He is handsome and fine, my husband is,
There were two gossiping women in the village,
Saying one to the other, do you have a good husband?
He doesn`t scold me, or beat me either.
He does the chores, he feeds the chickens
And I just enjoy myself.
Really you have to laugh
to hear the cries of the chicks and hens:
Co, co, co, co, dae, little flirt, what`s this?
He is handsome and fine, my husband is,
(translation (c) D W Solomons)
