En cueillant la noisette
Fred Adison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le cur plein de désir,
Délaissant sa chambrette,
A pris bien du plaisir
{Refrain:}
En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix
Elle croisa Gustave
Le garçon, fort ému,
Prit son bel accent grave
Et son accent aigu
{au Refrain}
Il la prit par la taille,
Il la sentit frémir
Et dans ses yeux canailles,
Il lut bien du plaisir
{au Refrain}
Il la prit par la taille,
La prit par le menton,
Elle, dans la bataille,
Tomba sur le gazon
{au Refrain}
Ah ! Maudite culbute
Jugez du désarroi !
Le gredin, dans sa chute,
Avait vu... son émoi... Oh
En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix
Dans cette pirouette,
Elle eut le cur troublé,
Elle perdit la tête
Tout en perdant... le pied
En cueillant la noisette et la fraise des bois
En cueillant la noisette et en gaulant des noix
Sa robe, sa coiffure
Ne pourront plus servir
Belles, de l'aventure
Gardez le souvenir.
The song "En cueillant la noisette" by Fred Adison tells the story of Annette, a young woman who leaves her room one day filled with desire. As she starts to pick hazelnuts and wild strawberries, she runs into Gustave, the boy who makes her heart skip a beat. As they pick nuts and fruits together, Gustave takes Annette by the waist and feels her trembling. In his sly eyes, he sees her pleasure, and as they start to play fight, Annette falls on the grass, losing her balance, and Gustave sees more than he bargained for. Annette, feeling nervous and embarrassed, loses her head and even her footing, causing her to ruin her dress and hair, but she retains the memory of their little adventure.
The lyrics of "En cueillant la noisette" speak to the innocence of young love, the thrill of discovering one's desires and the risks that come with them. Annette is filled with desire, and her rendezvous with Gustave is exciting and playful but ends with her feeling nervous and embarrassed. Gustave, who sees more than he was supposed to see, is a reminder of the risks of love, which can lead to both pleasure and pain. The song's refrain, which repeats the act of picking hazelnuts and wild strawberries and cracking nuts, symbolizes the sweet pleasures of love.
