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!
