A traditional French children’s song with actions, and an English translation.
French
Une poule sur un mur, | Pliez les coudes, bougez-les de l’extérieur vers l’intérieur |
Qui picote du pain dur | Courbez le dos, hochez la tête |
Picoti, picota | Hocher la tête de gauche à droite |
Lève la queue | Mettez vos mains sur les fesses et levez-les |
Et puis s’en va. | Montrez qu’elle est partie |
English
A chicken on a wall | Fold your elbows and move them outwards and inwards to mimic wings |
Who is pecking some hard bread | Bend over and nod your head |
Peck peck | Nod your head from left to right |
Lifts her tail | Put your hands on your bottom and lift them to mimic a tail |
And then she goes. | Point that the chicken has left |
