Dame Tartine, sung by Aaron Prevots, with subtitles from his translation

0:05 - 0:07

There was a Miss Morning Bread
0:07 - 0:10

In a luscious fresh butter palace,
0:10 - 0:12

The walls were of sugared almonds,
0:12 - 0:15

The floor of almond biscuits,
0:15 - 0:16

The bedroom
0:16 - 0:17

Of milky cream,
0:17 - 0:18

The bed of cookies,
0:18 - 0:20

The curtains of licorice.
0:22 - 0:25

She wed Sir Round Pastry –.
0:25 - 0:27

Him crowned with fine fromage blanc,
0:27 - 0:30

His hat of galettes,
0:30 - 0:32

His outfit of hors-d’oeuvres,
0:32 - 0:33

His breeches of nougat,
0:33 - 0:34

His vest of chocolate,
0:34 - 0:36

His stockings of caramel,
0:36 - 0:37

His shoes of honeyed soles
0:39 - 0:42

Their daughter, the rich dessert Charlotte,
0:42 - 0:44

Had a nose of marzipan,
0:44 - 0:47

Teeth of superb fruit-stew,
0:47 - 0:49

Ears of dry crunchy biscuit;
0:49 - 0:50

I can see her cover
0:50 - 0:51

Her dress in pleasures
0:51 - 0:53

With a baker’s roller
0:53 - 0:54

Of thick apricot paste.
0:57 - 0:59

But the wicked fairy Carabosse,
0:59 - 1:02

Full of jealousy, and sour meanness,
1:02 - 1:04

Overturned with a tap of her hunchback
1:04 - 1:06

The sugared palace of happiness;
1:06 - 1:08

To build it again
1:08 - 1:09

Give as often as you can,
1:09 - 1:10

Give, dear parents,
1:10 - 1:12

Sugar to children.
