from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Aurore Pradère
Language: Creole 
Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
    Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
    C’est li mo oulé, c’est li ma pren.
Ya moun qui dit li trop solid,
    Ya moun qui dit li pas polie;
Tout ça ya dit, (Sia!) bin fou bin, 
    C’est li mo oulé, c’est li ma pren.
 
Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
    Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
Aurore Pradère, belle ‘ti fille,
    C’est li mo oulé, c’est li ma pren.
Li pas mandé robe mousseline,
    Li pas mandé déba brodé;
Li pas mandé soulier prinelle,
    C’est li mo oulé, c’est li ma pren.
