Analysis of Le Cabriolet
Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)
Dans mon petit cabriolet
Je ramenais la grosse Adèle.
Tête basse, ma haridelle
Mélancolique détalait.
Mon jeune chien cabriolait
Et courait après l’hirondelle.
Dans mon petit cabriolet
Je ramenais la grosse Adèle.
Or, aux frissons de son mollet
Je lui parlai d’amour fidèle,
Tant et si bien que j’obtins d’elle
Le baiser que mon cœur voulait,
Dans mon petit cabriolet.
