Oï ayaï
Language: Occitan

 « Oï ayaï, couçi ièu foraï ?
N’aï pas de couoïffo. »

Pierrou bo'lo fièyro,
Pierrou lo li croumpo,
Pierrou lo li pourto,
Pierrou lo li doun',
inquèr'ès pas lèvado,
dzomaï ne se lèvo !
« Lèvo, lèvo, lou dzour bè !
Morgoridoto, lèvotè ! »

« Oï ayaï, couçi ièu foraï ?
N’aï pas de coutilhou ! »

Pierrou bo'lo fièyro,
Pierrou lo li croumpo,
Pierrou lo li pourto,
Pierrou lo li doun',
Inquèr'ès pas lèvado,
Dzomaï ne se lèvo !
« Lèvo, lèvo, lou dzour bè !
Morgoridoto, lèvotè ! »

« Oï ayaï, couçi 
Que n'aï pas de comio ! »

Pierrou bo'lo fièyro,
Pierrou lo li croumpo,
Pierrou lo li pourto,
Pierrou lo li doun',
Inquèr'ès pas lèvado,
Dzomaï ne se lèvo !
« Lèvo, lèvo, lou dzour bè !
Morgoridoto, lèvotè! »

« Oï, moun Diou ! Que fo frèt,
Me cal quitta lou lièt ! »

Prenguet lo comiò,
è maï lou coutilhou,
è maï lou boborel,
è maï lou moutsodou,
è sés poulidos caussos,
è metèt la couoiffo.
« Que soui bèlo, so diguèt  ! » 
E Morgorido se lévèt !
