AH! SI MON MOINE VOULAIT DANZER! (CANADA)

AH! SI MON MOINE VOULAIT DANZER! (CANADA)

Ah! si mon moine voulait danser
Un capuchon je lui donnerais. 

Refrain:
Danse, mon moin', danse!
Tu n'entends pas la danse,
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin, lon la
Tu n'entends pas mon moulin marcher. 

Ah! si mon moine voulait danser!
Un ceinturon je lui donnerais.

Ah! si mon moine voulait danser! 
Un chapelet je lui donnerais.

Ah! si mon moine voulait danser!
Un froc de bur' je lui donnerais.

Ah! si mon moine voulait danser! 
Un beau psautier je lui donnerais.

S'il n'avait fait voeu de pauvreté, 
Bien d'autres chos' je lui donnerais.

English Lyrics by J. Mark Sugars 

Oh, if my monk would dance with me! 
A big brown hood I would give to thee.

Refrain:
Come, my monk, let's dance now,
Together let us skip now,
As lightly on the measures go,
Our feet move merrily to and fro. 

Oh, if my monk would dance with me! 
A fine wide sash I would give to thee. 

Oh, if my monk would dance with me! 
A rosary I would give to thee.

Oh, if my monk would dance with me!
A homespun robe I would give to thee.

Oh, if my monk would dance with me! 
A psalter rich I would give to thee.

If it weren't for your vow of poverty, 
There's nicer things you would get from me.
