Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
Tous les goûts sont dans la nature
All tastes are in nature
D\'ailleurs ce coq avait bon goût
Besides, this cock tasted good
Car la pendule était fort belle
Because the clock was very beautiful
Et son tic tac si doux si doux
And its ticking so sweet so sweet
Que le temps ne pensait surtout
That time especially did not think
Qu\'à passer son temps auprès d\'elle
Than spending his time with her
Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
De l\'aube jusqu\'au crépuscule
From dawn until dusk
Et même la nuit comme un hibou
And even at night like an owl
L\'amour le rendant coqtambule
Love making him a coqtambulist
Des cocoricos plein le cou
Cocoricos full of necks
Le coq rêvait à sa pendule
The rooster was dreaming of his clock
Du Poitou
From Poitou
Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
Ça faisait des conciliabules
It was a meeting
Chez les cocottes en courroux
Among the angry chicks
Qu\'est ce que c\'est que ce coq, ce cocktail
What is this rooster, this cocktail?
Ce drôle d\'oiseau, ce vieux coucou
This funny bird, this old cuckoo
Qui nous méprise et qui ne nous
Who despises us and who does not
Donne jamais un petit coup dans l\'aile
Never give a little kick in the wing
Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
Mesdames, vous parlez d\'un jules
Ladies, you are talking about a jules
Le voilà qui chante à genoux
Here he is singing on his knees
Ô ma pendule je t\'adore
O my clock I adore you
Laisse moi te faire la cour
Let me court you
Tu es ma poule aux heures d\'or
You are my golden hour hen
Mon amour
My love
Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
Il est temps de venir à bout
It's time to come to terms
De cette fable ridicule
From this ridiculous fable
De cette crête à testicules
From this crest to testicles
Qui chante l\'aurore à minuit
Who sings dawn at midnight
Il avance ou bien je recule
He moves forward or I move backwards
Se disait notre horlogerie
Said our watchmaking
Qui trottinait sur son cadran
Who trotted on his dial
Du bout de ses talons aiguilles
From the tips of her stiletto heels
En écoutant son don Juan
Listening to his Don Juan
Lui seriner sa séguedille
Tell him his joke
Pour imaginer son trépas
To imagine his death
Point n\'est besoin d\'être devin
There is no need to be a soothsayer
La pendule sonne l\'heure du repas
The clock strikes meal time
Coq au vin
Coq au vin
Dans une ferme du Poitou
On a farm in Poitou
Un coq aimait une pendule
A rooster loved a clock
