Hey! Give him some hay!
Language: English  after the Occitan
Hey! Give him some hay, this old donkey!
Hey! Give him some hay, he’ll eat it up!
The poor thing, to [be able to] work.
just to stay alive,
he must eat well!
I don’t see her coming, my girl,
I don’t see her coming, to the Mill.
Courage, poor boy!
[Each] with a girl
We will dance!
[She] sets feet stamping,
the mountain girl!
[She] sets feet stamping,
on the pavement!
Patience, poor boy,
The young girl
is right!
