Hey, I remembered to bump this thread before May 1st this time!
I'd also like to share a song that we're working on in my singing group.
"Ce moys de may, ce moys de may,
ce moys de may, ma verte cotte,
ce moys de may, ma verte cotte,
ce moys de may, je vestiray.
De bon matin me l veray,
ce joly, joly moys de may.
De bon matin me l veray:
Un sault, deux saults, trois saults,
en rue je feray,
Pour voir si mon amy verray.
Je luy diray qu'il me descotte;
Me descottant le baiseray."
It's French, from 1529, and translates to be much the same song as JC's:
This month of May
my green skirt (note: connotes "grass stained")
I'll wear
early in the morning, I'll rise
in this lovely month of May
one hop, two hops, three hops
into the street I'll make
to see if I'll see my friend
I'll tell him to remove my skirt
while he removes it, I'll kiss him.
