Guillenlé
Language: Bourguignon 
Guillenlé, bia Guillenlé,
En bonne année puissiez entrer !
Il n'y a pas depuis Noël
Plus de huit jours que Dieu est né !

Que Dieu bénisse la maison,
L'homme et la femme, s'ils y sont,
Et le petit enfant du bré
De la main de Dieu fut soigné,
De la main de Saint Bartholomé.

O dame, dame, donnez-vous !
De vos aumônes qu'en f'rons-nous ?
Les porterons aux champs fleuris,
Autant de fois qu'nous aurons dit
Qu'il y a des feuill's dessus le jonc. (bis)
