Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.581271). This version of my song "The centipede and the frog" arranged for mezzo-soprano and bassoon was recently recorded by Parma RecordsIt uses both the English anonymous original, a second verse by David Dunning and my translation of both verses into French:The centipede was quite happy walking with its many legs until a frog asked it to think about which leg comes after which... it had to lie down distracted and consider how to run...(In other words, if you do something that comes naturally, it might go wrong if you concentrate on it instead of just simply doing it).Verse 1 (anon.) A Centipede was happy quiteUntil a frog in funsaid "Pray tell which leg comes after which?"(with a left right right left right)This raised her mind to such a pitchshe lay distracted in a ditchConsidering how to run. Verse 2 (by David Dunning) She stopped and thought and, mystified,Soloquized on this;Put right foot first and found it leftHer left leg wrong right sideThis raised her mind to such a pitchshe lay distracted in a ditchConsidering how to run.Un mille-pattes était bien contentMais la grenouille l'interroge«Comment sais-tu quelle patte va a-vantC'est la gauche ou droite ou quoi?»ça lui fait penser, mais beaucoup tropl'immobilise tout en chaosil ne peut plus marcher droit. Il commence un pas, s'arrête encore,Des pattes gauches se lèventIl bouge ses droites en octuors Et trébuche comme dans un rêveoui ça fait penser, et beaucoup tropl'immobilise tout en chaosil ne peut plus marcher droit.
