from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Passo pel prat
Language: Occitan 
Our translations:  ENG
  Lo lo lo lo lo, etc.

Passo pel prat, bèloto,
Ièu possorai pel bouos ;
Quon li sèras, pouloto,
M’èsperoras sé vouos !

  Lo lo lo lo lo, etc.

Nous porlorèn, filhoto,
Nous porlorèn toui dous ;
Qu’os toun omour, drouloto,
Què mé foro hurous !

  Lo lo lo lo lo, etc.

In Canteloube's score, he notes: "On appele 'grandes' en Auvergne, des mélopées extrement lentes et rudes qui, pour la plupart, n'ont pas d'autres paroles que les lo lo lo. Psalmodieés à pleine voix; elles sont les chants de labour par excellence, car leur mouvement s'harmonise à merveille avec le pas lourd et lent des boeufs au travail."
