English version:

Five Little Shamrocks

One green shamrock, in the morning dew,
Another one sprouted, and then there were two.

Two green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree,
Another one sprouted, and then there were three.

Three green shamrocks, by the cottage door,
Another one sprouted, and then there were four.

Four green shamrocks, near a beehive,
Another one sprouted, and then there were five.

Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,
Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring!

French Translation:

Cinq petits trèfles

Un trèfle vert, dans la rosée du matin,
Un autre a germé, puis il y en eu deux.

Deux trèfles verts, poussant sous un arbre,
Un autre a germé, puis il y en eu trois.

Trois trèfles verts, près de la porte du chalet,
Un autre a germé, puis il y en eu quatre.

Quatre trèfles verts, près d’une ruche,
Un autre a germé, puis il y en eu cinq.

Cinq petits trèfles, lumineux et vert émeraude,
Pensez à toute la chance que ces trèfles apporteront !
