Lyrics: Anon

Mais ma Mignonne aux tétins découverts,
Qui de jazer et de baiser n'a honte;
Et quant ce vient à faire fin de compte,
Jamais ne veut qu'on la tourne à l'envers;
Pourquoi jette elle un regard de travers,
À un vetin celle ne veut que monte?
Ha, je l'aurai par bien si je l'affronte
Où je romprai portes et huis ouverts.

But as for my bare-breasted Mignonne,
Who has no shame in chatting or kissing,
And when it's time to make the final reckoning,
Only wants to be turned about;
Why does she look askance
At a trap she just wants to be caught in?
Ha, I shall win her if I engage her head-on
Where I can break open posterns and gates.
