Chorus
    Depechez-vous lan tireli relire
    Depechez-vous, i' va mouiller

2.  Allons, mes fill's, allons faner

3.  Allons, mes fill's, allons rat'ler

4.  Alons, mes homm's, allons serrer.

(Come on men, let's mow)
(Hurry up, it's going to rain)
(Come on girls, let's turn over the hay to dry)
(Come on, girls, let's rake)
(Come on men, let's stack [the hay])
