Quand z' eyrou petitoune
Language: Occitan 
Our translations:  ENG
Quand z' eyrou petitoune
Ma miouna bourda do viouletta,
Quand z' eyrou petitoune
M' appelavoun Nanetou ...

N' en gardava las oulhas,
Ma miouna bourda do viouletta,
N' en gardava las oulhas,
A l'ombretto d' in bouissou ...

Le bouissou fay flouquetto,
Ma miouna bourda do viouletta,
Le bouissou fay flouquetto,
N' en dormiguèrè dessous ...

Très calhès passèroun,
Ma miouna bourda do viouletta,
Très calhès passèroun,
Disguèroun: 'Belle, bonjour!' ...

'Passas, passas au lardji!'
Ma miouna bourda do viouletta,
'Passas, passas au lardji!'
Mes amours soun pas per vous!
