D’argent à une aigle de gueules, au vol abaissé, membrée, becquée et couronnée d’or, empiétant une montagne de trois coupeaux de sable issant d’une mer d’azur mouvant de la pointe et ondée d’argent.

excerpts
Cad’an per aquesta sesoun
Maire, enfant, paire e filha
Canten Carneval... en cansoun
De familha en familha.		 Each year on this season
Mothers, sons, fathers and daughters
Are singing Carnival... in songs
From families to families.

Chorus
O Nissa aimada,
Faguen mascarada,
Faguen de bal, de bacanal,
Ounour e gloria à Carneval. (twice)
Carneval ren noun regne !
Voulèn que cad’an regne !		 Oh! Nice beloved,
Let’s do masquerades,
Let’s do open-air dances, bacchanalias (1),
Honour and glory to Carnival. (twice)
Carnival, nothing reigns!
We want every year he reigns!

1. Bacchanalia, in honour of Bacchus/Dionysus.
