Note: the dialect of Occitan here is Limousin (or Lemousin, in that language). Here is a Modern French version:
Jeanneton où irons-nous garder, Qu'ayons bon temps une heure ? Lan la ! Là-bas, là-bas, au pré barré ; Y'a de tant belles ombres ! Lan la ! Le pastour quitte son manteau, Et fait seoir Jeannette Lan la ! Jeannette a tellement joué, Que s'y est oubliée, Lan la !
