Paroles
1. Old sister Phoebe, how merry were we,
The night we sat under the juniper tree,
The juniper tree, Hi-o, hi-o,
The juniper tree, Hi-o.
2. Put this hat on your head to keep your head warm
And one or two kisses will do you no harm,
Will do you no harm, I know, I know,
Will do you no hearm, I know.
3. Go choose you a partner, go choose you a one,
Go choose you the fairest that ever you can,
Now rise you up, sister, and go and go,
Now rise you up, sister and go.
Traduction
(vieille) Soeur Phoebe, comme nous étions heureux,
Le soir où nous étions assis sous le genévrier...
