Ma maîtresse est volage,
Mon rival est heureux;

Et vogue la galère,
Tant qu'elle pourra voguer.

The unfaithful mistress
Language: English  after the French (Français)
My mistress is unfaithful,
My rival is happy:
If he took her virginity,
It's because she had two.
So sails the ship
As long as it can sail.
