La Cançon dei Païsans
Lei païsans son matiniers,
Van faire gatada
E en prenon lor panier
De pan, amb de salada.
[Repic:]
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Aquò arriba ai paurei païsans,
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Amb un pauc de trempa
Aquò lei contenta.
E après, per lor sopar,
An un pauc de sopa.
[Repic:]
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Aquò arriba ai paurei païsans,
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Sovent, facha la polcà,
Amb de cogordas
Fan la sopa maigra
E i meton d'aiga.
[Repic:]
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Aquò arriba ai paurei païsans,
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
E après, per lor cochar,
An un pauc de palha.
Sovent an per tremolar,
Cochan amb lei braias.
[Repic:]
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.
Aquò arriba ai paurei païsans,
Que son totjorn mòrts de fam.

Translation
The Peasant Song
The peasants are early risers,
They go to break bread
And they take their basket
With bread, with salad.
[Chorus:]
Who are always starving.
This happens to the poor peasants,
Who are always starving.
With a little bread dipped in a stew,
They are contented.
And later on, for their supper,
They have a little soup.
[Chorus:]
Who are always starving.
This happens to the poor peasants,
Who are always starving.
Often, when the polka ends,
With pumpkins
They make a meagre soup
And add water to it.
[Chorus:]
Who are always starving.
This happens to the poor peasants,
Who are always starving.
And then, to go to sleep,
They get a little straw.
They often shiver because of the cold,
So they sleep with their trousers on.
[Chorus:]
Who are always starving.
This happens to the poor peasants,
Who are always starving.
