How can i laugh or cry
When my mind is sorely torn?
Badabec had to die
Fair pantagruel is born
Shall i weep, yes, for why?
Then laugh and show my scorn

Born with a strength untold
Foreseen to have great age
Set in gargantuan mould,
Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage
Princely wisdom, habits bold;
Power, glory, lauded sage

Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning
In paradise dear badabec prays for him
Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning
In paradise dear badabec prays for him.

Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning
In paradise dear badabec prays for him

How can i laugh or cry
When my mind is sorely torn?
Badabec had to die;
Fair pantagruel is born
Shall i weep, yes, for why?
Then laugh and show my scorn
