Eha ahe aghete

Translation French:

Belle enfant, tu es si pauvre mais tu
Danse comme une princesse et tu n'en fait qu' ta tˆte
Dans le village les riches sont furieux
"Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que a ?"
Car tu danse comme une princesse et tu n'en fait qu'ta tete

Translation English:

Beautiful child, you are so poor
But you dance like a princess and you do as you please
The rich people in the village are furious
"What on earth is going on ?"
Because you dance like a princess and you do as you please
