Obal, din lo coumbèlo,

L'y o un poumié d'omour.
 
Los très filhoy del Prince,
Tro lo lo lo lo lèro lô!
Los très filhoy del Prince,
L'y soun o l'oumbro dejiou.

N'y o duoy qué rizou è contou,
Tro lo lo lo lo lèro lô!
N'y o duoy qué rizou è contou,
L'autro plouro toutjiour.

Lou Prince ben li dire:
Tro lo lo lo lo lo lèro lô!
Lou Prince ben li dire:
"Pernette, qu’avez-vous?”

"Ne plouro pel leys amos 
Tro lo lo lo lo lo lèro lô! 
Ne plouro pel leys amos 
Des pauvres amourous!

"Qué soun morts l’un pel l’autro 
Tro lo lo lo lo lo lèro lô!
Qué soun morts l’un pel l’autro 
Per coumplayr’ o l’omour!"
