Helen's sabots
Helen's sabots
were smeared with mud.
The three captains would have called her ugly.
And the poor Helen
was as mournful as a lost soul.
Don't look any further for the fountain,
ye who seeks water.
Don't look any further, with Helen's tears
your bucket will soon be filled.
Me, I took the pains
to take them off,
Helen's sabots, though I'm no captain.
And I saw my efforts
soon well rewarded.
Inside the sabots of the poor Helen
Inside her dirty sabots
me, I found the feets of a queen
and I kept them.
Her woolen petticoat
was all ragged.
The three captains would have called her ugly.
And the poor Helen
was as mournful as a lost soul.
Don't look any further for the fountain,
ye who seeks water.
Don't look any further, with Helen's tears
your bucket will soon be filled.
Me, I took the pains
to hike it up
Helen's petticoat, though I'm no captain.
And I saw my efforts
soon well rewarded.
Under the petticoat of the poor Helen
under her ragged petticoat
me, I found the legs of a queen
and I kept them.
Now Helen's heart
didn't know how to sing
The three captains would have called her ugly.
And the poor Helen
was as mournful as a lost soul.
Don't look any further for the fountain,
ye who seeks water.
Don't look any further, with Helen's tears
your bucket will soon be filled.
Me, I took the pains
to settle down,
inside Helen's heart, though I'm no captain.
And I saw my efforts
soon well rewarded.
Inside the heart of the poor Helen
that had never sung
me, I found the love of a queen
and I kept it.

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stai con l'Ucraina!
The lyrics refer to a very popular folk song:
---
En passant par la Lorraine, avec mes sabots
Rencontré trois capitaines, avec mes sabots...
Il m'ont dit je suis vilaine, avec mes sabots
Je ne suis pas si vilaine, avec mes sabots
Puisque le fils du Roi m'aime, avec mes sabots
---
As I walked across the Lorraine, with my sabots
I met three captains...
They said I was ugly...
I must not be so ugly...
since the king's son loves me...
