Princess of Lille
The prettiest mirror on the island
I wanted to let you know
That every man wants to have
At least one flower
Of happiness
For their wife.

O Beautiful soul
I have for you
A gorgeous scarf for your breasts
A bouquet of pretty flowers
One keg of wine
And a crate full of nuts
To make you happy
For the entire rainy season.
