Médard's Day, my God how it rained - Without a bar we would have been done for!On Saint Médard's Day, my God how we enjoyed ourselves - Both at the counter drinking juice.Sheltered in the bar we enjoyed ourselves so much - That we left late when it stopped raining.When it rains on Saint Médard's Day - For forty days one must take one's umbrella.The sellers of seeds and waterproof goods - Rub their hands together, these people must make a living after all!In our little bar we would meet - At a quarter past noon and we would wait.When it rains outside, we are comfortable inside - For comfort, rain is worthless.To make matters worse it rained again - On Saint Barnabas's Day, oh ever so much more!To dry ourselves properly in the bar we drank - Three sugared drinks and then we liked it again.Saint This, Saint That, it always rained - In the corner bar, sheltered and dry, we loved each other.After forty days when the weather was fair - Our love story fell through.Followed by a
