I t'airai, mai brunette
Language: Bourguignon 
I t'airai,
Mai brunette,
I t'airai,
Oui, mai foué !
S'i n(e) t'ai pas, i m'en irai
Ai lai guerr', ai lai gerr',
S'i n(e) t'ai pas, i m'en irai
Ai lai guerre en Dauphiné.
S'i n(e) t'ai pas, i metterai
Mai ch'misôl', mai ch'misôl',
S'i n(e) t'ai pas, i metterai
Mai ch'misôl' su mon gilet.
I t'airai,
Mai brunette,
I t'airai,
Oui, mai foué !
