Bernos de Gasztold, Carmen: The prayer of the little pig (Prière du petit cochon in English)

Portre of Bernos de Gasztold, Carmen

Prière du petit cochon (French)

Seigneur,
ils me font rire avec leur politesse!
Oui, je grogne!
Je grogne et je renifle!
Je grogne, parce que je grogne!
Et je renifle,
parce que je ne peux pas faire autrement!
Je ne vais tout de meme pas les remercier
de m'engraisser pour leur saloir?
Pourquoi m'avez-Vous fait si tendre?
Quelle destinee!
Seigneur,
apprenez-moi a dire:
ainsi soit-ill!

The prayer of the little pig (English)

Lord,
their politeness makes me laugh!
Yes, I grunt!
Grunt and snuffle!
I grunt because I grunt
and snuffle
because I cannot do anything else!
All the same, I am not going to think them
for fattening me up to make bacon.
Why did You make me so tender?
What a fate!
Lord,
teach me how to say: Amen
Amen.
