Language: Occitan 
Payssèts, agnèls, penden que dins la prado,
You baouc trouba l'oubjèt de moun amour ;
Et tu, Médor, gardo la troupélado,
Gardo lo pla, dinquos à moun retour.

Bézi, la bas, la bélo Jouranetto,
Qu'el long del riou, s'en ba cueilli la flou,
A sous genouls direy à la filletto :
Tu qu'as moun cor, oh ! douno m'un poutou.

Adiou, trésor, adiou, moun Esteletto,
Anjo dèl cèl, moun bouquet parfumat,
Oh ! laysso me, sur ta roso bouquetto,
Pren' un poutet ! Bay ! l'ey pla, méritat.

«Nou boli pas bay t'en bay t'en de suito
Crento del loup, la tariblo furou ;
Médor es soul et pot prene la fuito,
Bay t'en, bay t'en ; a douma le poutou. »

Le lendouma, le pastourel plourabo,
Le trayte loup y abio tuat Médor,
Mes uno boutx que de preple gaytabo,
Benguet d'un mot, rebis coula soun cor.

«Ploures pas may, beni calma ta peno ;
Té ! pren  ma ma. Boli te rendre hurous ;
Unis quannous d'uno doublo cadeno,
Et pey pouyras, me manja de poutous. »
