Original text and translations

French text

Les dames se sont tailladées

Chacune d'un Toulouzan

Par compra

Ha, ha, ha

L'eyze Sabaton de Cordouen

Lo scafignolet, hari bouriquet,

Bouriquet, bouriquet,

Et hari bouriquet,

Bouriquet, bouriquet,

Et hari bouriquet.

English text
tentative translation by David Solomons

The ladies have put on their fine slashed Toulouse dresses

To appear at Sunday mass in Place Cordouen

Nicely turned out indeed

Hee-haw, little donkey!
