[English]

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

Mmh, Mikado

Oh, Kamelon

I’ve had too much rum, I’m feeling it

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

She’s dancing to the bassline

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

Who’s the wolf who’s gonna get with the little one?

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

Who’s the wolf who’s gonna get with the little one?

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

And in ten years, we’ll cross paths with her

The mare just keeps dancing, her feet are sore

Michao’s mare and her little foal

Want to go to the field and eat all the hay

Michao’s mare and her little foal

Want to go to the field and eat all the hay

Winter will come, and when winter comes

We’ll turn up the bass, even until the next day

In less than nine years, we’re gonna party hard

Because we’re drinking rum, even by the pitcher

I’ve had too much rum, I’m feeling it

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

Who’s the wolf who’s gonna get with the little one?

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

Who’s the wolf who’s gonna get with the little one?

I hear the wolf and the girls singing

And in ten years, we’ll cross paths with her

The mare just keeps dancing, her foot is sore

Michao’s mare and her little foal

Want to go to the field and eat all the hay

Michao’s mare and her little foal

Want to go to the field and eat all the hay

Winter will come, and when winter comes

We’ll turn up the bass, even until the next day

Winter will come, and when winter comes

Michao’s mare will have eaten all the hay

Mmh, Mikado

Aouuh

...

[French]

(J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter)

(Mmh, Mikado)

(Oh, Kamelon)

C'est trop de rhum que j'ai tisé

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

C'est sur la basse qu'elle a winé

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Qui est le loup qui va koker la belette

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Qui est le loup qui va koker la belette

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Et dans dix ans, on va la croiser

La jument fait que winer, elle a mal aux pieds

La jument de Michao et son petit poulain

Veulent aller dans le pré manger tout le foin

La jument de Michao et son petit poulain

Veulent aller dans le pré manger tout le foin

L'hiver viendra, et quand l'hiver viendra

On remettra la basse même jusqu'au lendemain

Dans moins d'neuf ans, on va caner

Car on boit le rhum, et même au pichet

C'est trop de rhum que j'ai tisé

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Qui est le loup qui va koker la belette

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Qui est le loup qui va koker la belette

J'entends le loup et les pétasses chanter

Et dans dix ans, on va la croiser

La jument fait que winer, elle a mal au pied

La jument de Michao et son petit poulain

Veulent aller dans le pré manger tout le foin

La jument de Michao et son petit poulain

Veulent aller dans le pré manger tout le foin

L'hiver viendra, et quand l'hiver viendra

On remettra la basque même jusqu'au lendemain

(L'hiver viendra, et quand l'hiver viendra)

(La jument de Michao aura mangé tout le foin)

(Mmh, Mikado)

(Aouuh)
