Down below in Limousin
Language: English  after the Occitan
Down below in Limousin, little one, down below in Limousin,
There are lots of pretty girls, o yes, o yes,
There are lots of pretty girls, here [too], o yes!
Gallant lad, however beautiful the girls are in your country,
Our young men in Limousin,
Know better how to make love, o yes!
Down below in Limousin, little one, they are galant,
Here in the Auvergne, in my country,
The men love us and are faithful!
