Lo petit aucelon
Se'n vòl anar tà Spanha,
Mes çò qui l'a hèit paur,
La nèu de la montanha,
E lo pòrt d'Auloron,
Au petit aucelon.
Lo petit aucelon
Se' n vòl minjar fromatge
Mas çò que li an donat,
Tant solament calhada
E de pan, un bricon,
Au petit aucelon.
Lo petit auseron,
S'avè minjat calhada,
De tant que n'a minjat,
Que se n'a hèit la barba,
La barba e lo menton,
Lo petit aucelon.
The little birdie
Wants to go to Spain,
But what he's afraid of
Is the snow of the mountain
And Oloron's Harbor,
The little birdie.
The little birdie
Wants to eat cheese,
But what they gave him
Was only curd
And a little piece of bread
To the little birdie.
The little bird
Ate the curd.
He ate so much of it
That he made himself a beard with it,
A beard and a chin
The little birdie.
Thanks!
