Does anyone here know how to translate this -
It has a really nice sound when read aloud - but I have no idea what it means?

Un petit d'un petit
S'étonne aux Halles
Un petit d'un petit
Ah! degrés te fallent
Indolent qui ne sort cesse
Indolent qui ne se mène
Qu'importe un petit d'un petit
Tout Gai de Reguennes.

Small of small
is astonished with the Markets
small by small
Ah! degrees are necessary Indolent
for you which does not leave Indolent
cease which is not carried out
That small of small Tout
Merry of Reguennes is essential.

Thank you Stork69 for the translation.
I'm not sure if that is what the verse means though.

I do. It's like all those pretentious French verses that are purported to mean something but, alas, mean absolutely Jack diddley squat!
